While the stock market close to stumbling through its fifth-longest stall since 1983, there could be a little election-year boost for equities.

The economy lost momentum in the spring and probably is in for a spell of somewhat sluggish growth ahead, which could weigh on voters when they go to the polls in November.

First, I'd like to say congratulations. Prior to last night, I had been only cautiously optimistic about your chances of taking the House. As of the time I am writing this, you are on the cusp of taking senate as well. In the world of politics, expectations are as real as the raw numbers, and you have certainly exceeded mine and many others. A quick scan of the over-dramatic flailing on conservative blogs and the despondent tone of Fox News fills me and many others with a profound sense of schadenfreude.  Enjoy your victory, but enjoy it quickly. For tomorrow you inherit the corn-flecked shit sandwich currently known as our government. Here are some things you can do to further redeem yourselves in our eyes...

The way to high returns is not to sell after a relatively large decline, but to hang on.

The scenario: Chance puts you in the same elevator alone with one of the leading candidates for the presidency. Your passion is pursuing ways to provide energy to a growing world while limiting climate risks. What do you say?.

There is another election this week. The issues are not war, taxes, morals or international credibility. They are microbes, diseases, data and international credibility.

I spent much of this afternoon in a mandatory (for poll workers) four hour training class on the Hart InterCivic eSlate voting system, soon to be in use in elections in my home county. (Hart InterCivic is a privately held firm out of Houston, specializing in election equipment and in software products for county records offices). Contrary to my previous impression, the machines are not touch screen machines, although they share some similarities.  I went into the class skeptical; I have been a critic of what I percieve as an unseemly rush to adopt insecure electronic voting systems. I emerged guardedly optimistic; the systems appear, from what I can tell, to be reasonably secure against vote manipulation by people who are not part of the election staff, and they appear to provide approximately the same level of security against election office malfeasance that paper ballots do. At the end of the day, if the election staff wants to tamper, they can; but that was true with paper ballots as well. That risk can be mitigated by election office procedures intended to mitigate it; in San Mateo County's case, those procedures have in some important regards not yet been established, as I will discuss below.

Kerry got a boost. Now, a range of analysts consider what might break the deadlock.

Tuesdayâs presidential election might be won or lost in eight states where the race is too close to call. What could tip the balance is jobs â-r the lack of them.

It&#39;s possible that everyone who votes by Tuesday will wake up Wednesday morning a loser. The presidential election could produce a clouded result because of disputed ballots or challenges to ballot tallies.

With just a week until Election Day, President Bush may be busier than ever with his campaign. But the task of stabilizing Iraq and corralling insurgents is urgent.

Instead, our neighbor to the north showed that votes may count, or they may not, depending on how often you count them. We can draw these conclusions from what happened in the Washington election for governor.

For Democratic candidates, the growing risk of a recession is an opportunity for action. For Republicans, it presents a dilemma.

VOTER PREDICAMENT: For many people, the question this year isn't just which presidential candidate to vote for, it's when. The race is so unsettled that today's champ can be tomorrow's chump.

Legislative races are normally sleepy affairs involving politicians who are virtually unknown outside their district. Campaign spending is scarce, the political implications minimal.
