80% of Wall Street is voting McCain and 90% of LaSalle Street is McCain even though Obama lives in Chicago. I don't know A SINGLE TRADER who is voting for Obama though I do know a few writing in Paul or pulling Barr.

Not sure how you got those figures but Wall Street has contributed more to Democrats this year than in previous years. Have you contributed to Republican party candidates?

For now, though, Sen. Clinton of New York is leading the way, bringing in at least $6.29 million from the securities and investment industry, compared with $6.03 million for Sen. Obama of Illinois and $2.59 million for McCain, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Those figures include donations from the investment companiesâ employees and political action committees.
In 2000, by comparison, Republican George W. Bush went on to win the White House after collecting nearly $4 million from the industry versus Democrat Al Goreâs $1.4 million. In 2004, Bush received $8.8 million, twice what Democratic Sen. John Kerry collected.

Maybe her pastor can help her.

Don't misconstrue contributions from a few hedge fund managers with VOTES. The average trader is a libertarian Republican. By landslide ratios.....
Libertarians and Republicans have more differences than similarities especially on social issues. It could be true that many traders prefer Republicans but that 80%-90% figure seemed a little to high.
Quote from marketsurfer:
hahahahaha.
your privy to major wallstreet figures private conversations?
it doesn't matter who wins, this market is going to rally in a huge way!

Actually, I am. Not to all of their private conversations, but to those conversations into which I was invited.
And some of those figures are at an age where they are ready to help their country rather than themselves. They want to help us get back on track and the way to do that is to get rid of the neocons. They know it and they're putting their money and prestige where their mouth is. That doesn't mean they're Democrats. It means they're Americans who know that divided we fall. Just look around you if you don't believe.
