Kind of a bit sick watching the Dow this morning [View All]

[Politics_Guy25]

Voters were rushing to the flashy shiny object of the two so-called "mavericks", one of whom made infamous the term "liptstick" before the economic crisis awakened them from their slumber to realize just how badly the GOP has wrecked the country and how Mccain would be nothing but a Bush repeat. I just worry though with the Dow up 600 points and if this holds, won't voter concerns about the economy ease? It'll make it easier for Rick Davis to make this the campaign that he has always dreamed of where issues don't count and personality is all that does if the economy stabilizes.

While the Dow was plunging massively each day, Senator Obama and the rest of our democratic team was immune from the typical GOP sleze. If the Dow rises 500 points each day for the next 3 weeks, the media will be able to cover whatever ploy Schmidt tries to play incessantly 24/7 to their heart's content.

I would have preferred the Dow to stabilize after the election/not before. Yeah, I admit it. I'm selfish. I want Senator Obama to win the presidency and I don't want a rising dow to perhaps destabilize that. So shoot me.

Am I just being stupid here and afraid of my own shadow? It's just that whenever the race isn't about important fundamental issues, that's bad for us. If the Dow stabilizes and we go back to talking about lipstick on a pig and Sarah Palin, that's not good. Hopefully voters don't forget the devastatiob that Bush wrought but I certainly fear that they may if this keeps up.
