....hold off on raising interest rates until after the election? I'd really like to know. We may see a rise in interest rates between now and then, but I'm going to go out on a limb and predict a 2 point rise in the first 3 quarters following the election regardless of the winner. If that 2 point rise happens now - there is zero chance of a Bush victory.
The problem with this kind of talk is that it really leads nowhere...there's no real way to test these assertations except to wait. We don't know when the rates will change, or what will happen to them, nor do we know who's paying Greenspan what. Perhaps we should have a predictions board to see who's really on the ball here?
