Well, I am glad that Bush won the election. Four more years! There is not much more to be said since the election is over and so we continue, but the economy is happy as well.

From Reuters, Stocks Jump on Bush Win

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stocks rallied on Wednesday, boosted by shares of health and defense companies that are likely to benefit from the re-election of President Bush, but higher oil prices checked advances.

Democratic challenger Sen. John Kerry conceded in a close presidential election, which buoyed Wall Street with the certainty that there would not be a repeat of the 2000 election, when the outcome was not known for more than a month.

“Investors are happy that Bush retained the White House,” said Jon Brorson, managing director of growth equities at Neuberger Berman. “He’s a known entity, and he’s put through some favorable policies for investors. The expectations were that he’d win the White House.”

Third period, this morning, began with our teacher informing us that Kerry had conceded.

I applaud Kerry for doing this, as it takes some courage to give up a battle, and it saved much time and effort in many people’s lives better spent elsewhere. He is smarter than Al Gore in that, and he also did not say “I invented the internet!”

Now, please, let us continue with our lives and hope that the four more years we supported will be a prosperous term.
