This point is absurd. If you didn't expect the stock market to be like it is now regardless of who won the Presidency back in October, you weren't paying attention. If you believe John "I'm No Economist" McCain would have made a better fist of things, with Sarah "I Can See Russia" Palin waiting in the wings, then I have a bunch of Lehman stock to sell you.

The very people who drove the stock market through the roof based on their inability to identify real gains from ponzi schemes are the ones that are at fault for the roof caving in right now.
