Not calling it yet, but getting close.
Like I said, desperate people shop in Black Friday, as we see with all the stampedes across the country. One day gains is not good enough. You have to wait until Christmas is over to see how well the economy is doing. THEN come back and talk. Having broken a losing streak this year can either be a good or bad thing. You're counting your chickens before they hatch

If the spending keeps up, I'm officially calling it for Obama. Right now, I stand by my prediction that Romney is the only candidate with a chance, which I see as no greater than 60/40 in Obama's favor.

Did you vote for Obama before? If so, I think that your judgement may be somewhat suspect.

I would suggest that you go to the Las Vegas online sites and place $10K or so on Obama. Put your money where your mouth is.

So you're saying if everyday in 2012 is a Black Friday then the economy may improve?
