I was about to claim this speculative query as original but then it was voiced on two different cable news outlets just this afternoon...
The theory and speculation is that the financial institutions world wide are looking ahead to a possible Dem controlled White House, Senate and House and that, that combination would increase capital gains taxes and the already high corporate tax rate and most likely continue to nationalize banks and lending institutions and the energy industry in an attempt to solve the energy crisis; in other words, move the American economy towards a kind of Euro style social democracy with high taxes on business and huge government spending on social programs.
Thus, all the knowledgeable monied interests are selling stocks and moving the money elsewhere until the election is over. This includes all the investment retirement plans which as a group, essentially follow suit in moving funds to safer investment vehicles.
On the other hand, a recent report said both the House and Senate races are tightening, again because of the financial crisis and people do not want a Dem controlled congress along with an Obama White House.
Then again, there is the 'Bradley' effect which, in essence, says that the racial factor is simmering and that people will say they will vote for Obama, but when they actually vote, will not vote for him on racial grounds. The Bradley effect was a California phenomena in which the polls gave Bradley, a black athlete, a 15 percent lead but he lost the election.
Also, just to muddy the waters, in October of 2004, Kerry led Bush, 51-40 percent in the polls in the first week of October.
On top of all that, just for the humor content, I watched, 'Recount', the film on the 2000 election, Bush/Gore, again, last night and thought of the current. "Acorn" voter registration fraud that has investigations going on in a dozen states at the present time.
Add to that, the Obama, Ayers connection to the ACORN, community service organizations in which Obama has been heavily involved.
The plots both thicken and sicken, do they not?
Such fun every four years......
Amicus....
