In the ongoing US primary elections, the Republican party has had a very big rift develop between the Romney camp and the McCain camp. Many right wing talk shows, all of them in fact, have now backed Romney and turned on McCain saying McCain is not a true conservative. This, despite the fact that McCain is known for his very hawkish stance on Iraq, Iran etc.
So, McCains strength is as a "war president" and Romney is viewed as the economic guy. This primary election will be decided today, on a day known as Super Tuesday in the States, bc so many states are having their primary elections.
On this key day in the primaries, we see the biggest drop in the dow yet this year. If it is true that there is a plunge protection team, is it not plausible they would engineer a drop to aid Romney? Is it coincidence that on a day the market drops so much that "economics" is first on the voters mind as they voted today?
Economy on the minds of the voters
In addition, if you look at all the other market drops this year, they occured immediately after a big state primary or on the day of a primary. Coincidence?
Just something to think about.
