Freepers knocking each other out trying to debunk the "redskins" result

.. soo funny.
I guess they took it serious.
Three threads right now on the results - and/or "debunking" them.

2. Primitives scaring themselves with supposedly bad omens.

Not surprising: they are the anti-science, anti-reality crowd.

The Dow Jones industrial average points to a Kerry win as well:

http://money.cnn.com/2004/10/29/markets/election_dow/index.htm

If the historical performance of the Dow Jones industrial average is any guide, John Kerry will be the 44th president of the United States.

According to a recent study by the Hirsch Organization, publishers of the Stock Trader's Almanac, if the Dow loses more than 0.5 percent of its value in the month of October before Election Day, then an incumbent president is going to lose his job. The Dow fell 0.52 percent in October.

This predictor has been true without exception from 1904 to the present, according to Jeffrey Hirsch, editor of the Stock Trader's Almanac and president of the Hirsch Organization.

5. From what I saw on tv - Wall St. Week, maybe (?)

the Dow would have to rebound over 200 pts. by Tuesday to favor the incumbent.

6. Not 'gonna happen................

Kuwait's oil production has stopped, power outage or something like that, talk of basing the world's oil market on the Euro, Bin Laden.......there are SO many reasons that the market should tank this coming week. The only way they'll turn it around is if the Plunge Protection Team gets REAL busy Monday morning.
