We have all heard "it’s the economy stupid" from Democratic strategist James Carval. That saying has as much validity today as it did when Clinton ran against Bush Sr. Some reports from the main stream media are saying there are signs that the race is tightening http://www.cnn.com/... and I will not refute that. However, I believe the polls have steadied because the stock markets have stopped their recent plunge. Unfortunately for John McCain, the markets are only a few days away from a new downward plunge. This renewed downward spiral of the markets to new lows will seal McCain’s fait. It will stop the tightening in the polls and extend Obama’s lead. That lead will end on election day with a Johnson like landslide victory.
Follow the link (Cross post) http://butlerdemblog.blogspot.com/... that show a chart of the S & P, which shows a contracting triangle that has one more down up sequence before the market heads to a new low. There are only two week left before the election and as this chart shows the contracting triangle should end by the end of the week or early next week. Once completed, the next downward move in the markets should last right up to the election and thus finishing off McCain.
