...What's more, the current stock market rally is less than two months old. And most rallies at the beginning of bull markets have lasted much longer before stocks retreat. According to strategist Lazlo Birinyi, who has long used technical factors to determine whether stocks are a good investment, in 23 of the past 24 bull markets stocks have risen for an average of 194 days before falling more than 10%. That means the current rally, near 60 days, has more than six months to go, on average, before stocks pull back. "Absolutely, this is a bull market," says Birinyi...

Roosevelt was enormously popular (hence the fourth term), and later administrations have tried to associate themselves with his early success.

That switch, he said, appears to be the loudest statement of disapproval Specter can make about the Republicans and not necessarily an endorsement of the Democrats. "I don't expect Arlen Specter to be any different as a Democrat than he was as a Republican ... He was a maverick Republican. He's going...
...does partisanship better than the Ragin' Cajun. In his latest book, the Louisiana-bred campaign strategist, who recently returned to teach political science at Tulane, takes a victory lap celebrating the Democrats' 2008 electoral trifecta. "The myth of Republican competence and fiscal responsibility is shattered," a victim of the strategic and economic missteps of the Bush years, Carville gleefully notes. If Democrats play their cards right, he argues, they can dominate politics for the next four decades. The key? "To rebuild Americans' trust in government as a force of good." His excitability is infectious, if only to those...
