Yesterday’s Politico story puts it this way:
Generally, financial analysts say the stock market likes Republicans more than Democrats. And while predicting market movements is as difficult as predicting the winner of the World Series in August, some experts say the market is already anticipating an Obama win on Nov. 4 and has at least partially [...]

Maybe being in the tank for liberals, using unfair and deceitful [...]
