Isn't it Jamaica Plains? Anyway...
I think the market will move upward. Dean was pretty far to the left. The market doesn't respond well to extremists in either direction. Despite everything, businesses and the average joe blow look for moderation.
Yup. I wouldn't call Bush extreme right. But he is in another field on some issues.
who else would you trust in a wartime era instead of Bush.
Kerry picked Clark as a running mate? Hmmm. Don't know that I'm all that impressed with Clark. We are in a wartime era, however, and many voters don't trust Bush. Cripes, I don't trust him. He's never come clean on Iraq. He's got the Pete Rose syndrome. A year a ago, if he had come clean with us, he could have become entrenched, similar to how Kennedy did when he admitted his failure in the Bay of Pigs fiasco.... that human failing actually made him more popular. Bush has lost that chance... and I think he's vulnerable. If... If the democrats can pick someone other than a Mondale or McGovern clone (ie: Dean).
How will the market react? Who knows? Markets seem to like stability. That would indicate Bush staying in power a plus. But markets also like competition... a solid competitor (Kerry) over an ideologue (Dean)...? Well, I'm hopeful that he can emerge as a legitimate candidate.
Trust me, the Bronx is not part of the US. My hubby was born there and so that's the only explanation I can come up with.
