Elections, Money and Markets

Updated on: November 2, 2010 / 8:00 AM EDT / MoneyWatch

Election day is finally here! Thank goodness, because who could stand one more political advertisement...except the brass at my company and every other media outlet that has collected a tidy sum this political season.

Since politics and money go together like PB&J, it's time to tally the numbers and look ahead at the potential impact on stock markets. I discussed the elections with WCBS-TV this morning.
