Funny, I was a regular at rcp before the 2006 election and I did not even realize they were on the right until after it was over, when there was a side comment somewhere of: "oh, dang, we thought things would go the other way this season." Which impressed me by their even-handedness that I hadn't spotted a tilt, and as well, made me realize they were on Rove's fax list because he was about the only one selling that political swampland before nov. I found rcp as a source for poll data to be clean, quick and unequaled. >So on any site they are running you are going to see a heavy weighting to the right, much more Kudlow than Krugman.

One or both of RCP's founders originally were money guys. RCP was a side project that hit it huge in the 2004 election cycle. The Markets site went defunct for a while when the Politics site was huge, and now it's back. A welcome return. Actually, RealClearMarkets originally was the predecessory to RealClearPolitics.

Volume sucks on "rally's" Volume picks up on and is greatest on "non-happy bomb" days Eventually that will win out however I NEVER thought it could be above 12k with the above description of where we are "at" fundamentally. My biggest fear is that we have a repeat of last summer where the volumes are historically low and we got to watch the market get a boner over every hedge fund's overpayment for assets. How many times I woke up on monday morning this summer only to see a headline like "Douchebag Capital pays a gazillion for ___________" and then promptly push the moonshot button for over 200 points.....nevermind that over half of those "deals" made in the summer are not even getting done let alone at those atmospheric prices. I see that GS only see's a total of $460b of write offs.........low balling it again so they can call the bottom in about three weeks time. On BTW did they not say they were through with write offs??? Yet another unpunished lie.... Ciao MS at some point the volumes will matter….it’s been as Dee has described it for over a year..
