Not really, it could break even or stay the same.
But since China is still devaluing their currency, our market is going to react and most likely lose a few points today.

So the career politicians... We say we want to get away from them, but anytime somebody who is not one makes some noise, like Ross Perot, Donald Trump, or Ralph Nader, etc... we declare them unelectable and move right back to career politicians.

Do you really think Ross Perot was a serious candidate? If he hadn't stopped running, and then started running again I might agree, but it looks to me like all he was there to do was peel off enough votes that would've gotten Bush Sr. re-elected.

It's hard to tell because most of them don't get enough support to know how serious of a candidate they could be.. because at some point they all say or do something that is "not Presidential" or not PC enough and people (and the media) will turn on them

True, but back then Perot had enough to keep himself going all the way through if he had wanted. I remember him buying up 1/2 hour spots on all three (for you younguns, there were only three major media outlets back then) networks and the PC disease wasn't that bad yet (far as I can recall).

I'm not happy about that. Being a person who supports what I consider an honest, qualified and sincere candidate in Jim Webb, it pains me to say that the party insiders are the only ones that are electable.

I'm just using the same history you have pointed out to reach my conclusion.
