Well…too be honest I expected a surge regardless of who won if there was a decisive winner. The market has been down lately because of the uncertainty of the election, and markets hate nothing more than uncertainty.
I agree with ChrTh – markets hate uncertainty, and there’s usually an upswing after an election – especially one where we aren’t litigating results for the following month or so. But with Bush in office, I think the long-term outlook is better than it would be had Mr. Kerry won.
We interupt IMAO for a test of the Emergency Gloating System:

This concludes this test of the Emergency Gloating System. If this were an actual Gloat, you would have been instructed to taunt a local Kerry supporters into a suicidal funk.
We now resume the Blog already in progress.

Captain’s Quarters has an interesting note on this- Oil futures have dropped 11.5% in three days, and CNBC is reporting that someone or some group with access to large amounts of investment funds is doing a lot of dumping of these futures.
The point of all this is that oil prices were perhaps being kept artificially high in the runup to the election, which would have a bad effect on the economy, thereby helping Easter Island Statue Head.
Ah, I love the smell of limousine liberal conspiracy in the morning. It smells….like….. VICTORY!!!!! Bwaaaa hahahahahahahhahahahahahahah!!!!!

Man, I didn’t have my beer and stogie because it was so late. Tonight!
Why would the market surge, when, according to one of my angry coworkers, we are in for 4 more years of a horrible economy?
Libs are such fools….
