...anybody else. Gore has promised to fight against the special interests and all the big industries, on behalf of good ordinary people who don't have stock options. Bush clearly intends to treat America's wealthy, and its corporations, with great respect: Make sure the demands of the investor get the same consideration as the demands of the customer. (Remember that with his Social Security plan, Bush is an equity investor too.) Gore and Ralph Nader see evils in Big Business that Bush does not; it's as simple as that...
...markets will calm down quickly. Whoever wins will inherit the same right-down-the middle Congress; the next president will find it exceedingly difficult to govern, and in the markets' estimation that's okeydoke. Which is why a President-elect Gore, being the more combative candidate, would likely get his own round of market plaudits - gridlock means guaranteed use of the surplus for debt repayment, and nothing about Washington fills the markets' sails like a really good Plan B - a priority additionally endorsed by the Almighty Greenspan...
...whomever Main Street chooses, Wall Street will get along. There was a winter-spring rally due anyway, at which point the markets and the economy have to take a deep breath and figure out what they're going to do next.

I've secured you both 15 minutes of air time tonight, on every single channel in the country (except Fox). You should get at least an 80 share, which gives you an audience of maybe 100 million eligible voters. More than enough for a mandate for either of you - even after I make sure Nader gets his 5 percent. I'd like to see democracy in the millennium get off to a good start...
...government to do all this, it must be a freer place. A place where the voice of big corporations do not drown out the voice of ordinary, hard-working people. I will work to get passed in Congress measures that decrease the influence of money in government, and increase the influence of ideas. And so there is a need in Washington for a fighter, a strong leader, not just a glad hand and a friendly face...
