Secretly or not so secretly, Democrats must be hoping for a prolonged stock market slump.
Before the recent crash, some prognosticator said the best number to watch for election prediction was the Dow Jones Industrial average. If the DJIA was below 22000 at the time of the election, the Democrats would have a very good chance of winning.
By that measure, Democrats must be overjoyed about that possibility.
It's a shame that political power has such a draw that those out of power would tolerate misfortune of others if that's what it took.
Meanwhile, the market had a sizable rebound last Friday. We'll see if it lasts.
