PS: i love how some of the media outlets used phrases like "narrowly survives" and "nail-biting finish". I call it whupped.

Do you think the same verbiage would have been used if the outcome was say, 3 points in favor of Mr. Barrett?

I notice how I had trouble finding the exact results and the major networkrs not focusing much on it. The fun one was Obama narrowly defeating Romney in the exit poll which they loved to quote until somebody pointed out that the same exit poll had Walker and Barret "Too close to call", lol

Commodities---- metals, energy and food are all up on the futures markets. I suspect a major bottom for food and energy might be in or near, for the time being anyway. I don't that that is election related, but to an inflation report out this AM.

I like energy best here, but food is directly tied to energy, usually.

I got to add that the markets may see this as Romney winning in November. And that event, if it happend would be huge for the markets.
