Here's what I'm thinking just based on reading things here and there.
Democrats favor Obama, then Edwards, then Clinton, then everybody
else.
I'm thinking Obama gets out with a lead of three or four points over
Edwards in second and Clinton a very close third to Edwards - say
within a point or two. Everybody else, Dodd, Biden, Krazyinich will
all slide to less than 4% of the vote in total.
Republicans - I'm thnking Romney with an insigificant lead over
Huckabee and Thompson a strong third. Ron Paultard will show a
surprising 13% of the vote from all the Paulbots that show up from
other states.
Now I need to call my bookie. :)
Your bookie is taking action on the primaries? That is sad. I'm assuming
even the bookies are also it hard by the current real estate slump.- Hide quoted text -

So, what is the difference between a slump and a logical correction?
Does it depend on who is in the Whitehouse??

I guess it depends on one's perspective. I see it as more a logical
correction, as the prices, especially here in SW Florida were just plain
ridiculous. Slump could be used to describe it by anyone who maybe has
suffered financially, which thankfully does not include me directly.

Not sure I am smart enough to know exactly who may be at fault, besides
I doubt everyone else but me cares about my opinion.

Blame (fault) is a tricky subject in this instance. There is a point
where growth eventually rises to a point where it is unsustainable -
it's not directly anybody's fault in one sense and it's exactly
everybody's fault in another.

The positive thing in this whole deal is that over the next two/three
years, real estate in the US will be viewed as an emerging market and
prices will rebound quickly.

It will be interesting to watch.
