You must have been watching FOX (Faux) News, cause the polls on CNN and CBS gave the win to Obama. Those are the 2 big polls I have seen tonight, I am sure there will be more tommorrow. Obama is ahead (47% to 40%) of McCain in the national polls as of right now anyway. And Obama is leading is in the battleground states of Pennsylvania, Colorado, Nevada, Wisconsin, Florida, Iowa, New Hampshire, Missouri, Virginia, and New Mexico currently. To be fair, McCain is leading in the battleground states of North Carolina, Indiana, Georgia, Alaska and Ohio currently.
As far as investing goes for the presidential race, I am putting money into solar and alternative energy stocks. I also think infrastructure will be bigger during an Obama administration. And Technology. I think every industry will benefit in the future from a Democrat in the white house or a firming up of the majority on capitol hill.
