From our Financial Correspondent

The Stock Market is predicting a Kerry win.

The market was down 45 points a minute ago - that indicates a Kerry win. We should see a 1% drop in the market if he wins or conversely a 1% rise if Bush wins. Interestingly enough, when a Democrat beats an incumbent, we would see, based on history, a 73% gain in the next 4 years vs. around 17% if a Republican wins re-election. So if you an evil, money grubbing Republican, you should vote Kerry.

Our financial and Mid-West Correspondents are one and the same: none other than Mike McDaneld. Many thanks for the observations.

Hey Kel:
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I went into purdah after the election result...
I was actually born in the highlands of Scotland, but have lived most of my life outside the British Isles, but speak with an English accent, not a bonnie wee Scottish one, so there you go.
Tim
