Reply #1: Yes but unfortunately the Dow has had 2 GREAT days

For a combined boost of about 250 points.

But I don't buy this theory. At least not this time. Consumer confidence has declined for 3 months straight. I'll toss another stat I read at you: since 1967, no incumbent has won re-election with a confidence index of less than 99. In the final report out yesterday, it's 92.

So, go figure.
