I believe it's been shown that anything short of a 'slam dunk' election depresses the stock market a bit. But the market is way, way down from where it should be -- down more than 10% from January 2001. It's only about 1% off of its high for the year. So the best forward-looking indicator says tough times are still with us.

Personally, I think it's the price of oil and the uncertainty that goes with that. All operating costs for all businesses rise with rising energy costs.
