1. What evidence do you have?

Historically, the Stock Market has performed better under a Democratic president. So it stands to reason that the stock market favors the Obama/Biden ticket.

12. Ok. Now I see.

I work a lot of hours and am sometimes a bit late on news items. Perhaps next time you could use the sarcasm "smily" or whatever you want to call it? Just a suggestion.

10. It doesn't always work out that way.

People lost a lot of money in the dot com bubble in 1999-2000. It is foolish to invest based on who is in power.
