The market was at 11,722 when George W. Bush took office on January 20, 2001. If the market continues at this pace, this will be the first time in history that the NYSE will be lower when a president leaves office than when he came in.

It's Election Day in the United States. I would highly recommend that all citizens take time to learn all the candidates that are running and vote for whoever appeals to them the most.

The past few months a lot of the focus has been on the Presidential race, but there's a lot of local races that in many cases are more important than the Presidential race. Make sure you know something about the candidates and just not vote for someone because of their party affiliation.

The 2000 Presidential Election was decided by 537 votes. Don't pay attention to what the media says, it can't be all over if no vote has been cast.

Tomorrow is Election Day in the United States and the presidential candidates are making their final pitches today.

In 2004, the election was still pretty close on the day before election, and 24 hours later George W. Bush was the clear winner. Will this happening again tomorrow? Think back to 2004, are the issues in 2004 still the same today?

If you have Real Audio, check out this 8 minute clip of Laura Ingraham describing how things are just hours before votes head to the poll.

Update: Here's another audio file for your enjoyment! Here a good quote from Dick Cheney and how did Hawaii 5-O get into the conversation.

In July, Moveon.org offered free Obama buttons to anyone that wanted it. I was a little hesitance because I know that there would be a catch. My college professor would always remind the class that there’s no such thing as a free lunch.

I decided to order a button and used one of my web email accounts to track the order. That way I would know that all emails that I got would be a result of the Obama button request.

It’s October 26, 2008 and the media has a tracker on how many days are left before election, I am sure someone has the number of hours count. However, I haven’t received my Obama button yet. I am thinking that I am never going to get one.

If the Obama team can’t keep their promise before an election, what do you think will happen once he gets into office? How many promises and pledges will he break if he is elected? Is he really trust worthy?

Something to think about just 9 days to go…

Last night CNN reported that Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, recently cleared his schedule. Tim Pawlenty is one of the candidates John McCain is considering for Vice President. We should have some idea today of his choice.

The other serious candidates include Senator Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut and Tom Ridge, the former governor of Pennsylvania. I think most conservatives would like to have Mitt Romney.
