&lt;p&gt;Yesterday, many folks of the good ole U.S. of A. placed their money on the Republican party. Whether the bet was a good or bad one remains to be seen. But if recent history prevails, it looks like voters just flushed away a whole lot of duckets.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As Timothy Egan writes in the &lt;em&gt;Times&lt;/em&gt;, &quot;The  presidency of George W. Bush produced the worst stock maket decline of any president in history&quot; [the DOW dropped 22 percent under GW&#39;s watch], but if you invested $100,000 strictly in the NASDAQ average on Nov. 2, 2008, you would now (two years later) have $177,000. And if you invested $100,000 over the same period just in the Standard &amp;amp; Poors 500, you would now have $148,000. That&#39;s a 77 percent and 48 percent return, respectively.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Not too $habby.&lt;/p&gt;
