Winners, Losers, and Lessons From Election 09

Today’s podcast takes another break from market and economic coverage to focus on the ramifications of this week’s elections: who are some of the winners and losers who might not be obvious? What are some of the unexpected lessons? TNL’s Brad Jackson offers his take.

Elections Have Consequences

And when elections are won, the consequences can be good in quite a number of ways:

The State of the Market and Election Fallout

Today’s podcast focuses on Nouriel Roubini’s controversial arguments on the state of the marketplace, the ramifications of the Federal Reserve’s meetings today in Washington, and the fallout for Democrats after Republicans swept key gubernatorial races by wide margins in Virginia and healthy ones in New Jersey.
