From a non-political perspective, Congressional gridlock is projected to improve the market. If that's what happens, that works out well for all of our financial goals!
Same here. In fact, I wasn't even going to vote this election, as I often find it pretty futile, but my wife and I went anyway. I simply voted Libertarian down the line, so I could at least place my vote on principle (the Democratic candidate usually wins here hands down anyway).
