Wall Street Journal: Democratic win good for the economy

Today's must-read story (after E.J. Dionne's brilliant Op-Ed on New York) is a story in, of all places, The Wall Street Journal.

Just to note the obvious: the Journal is actually two newspapers, one real (the one that produces all the news) and one fake, the Op-Ed part. Notably, you have to pay for the former online, while the latter is free. And you do get what you pay for.

Dem Control Might Help Economy, WSJ.com Survey Finds

Democrats’ wins in November might boost the economy, economists in the latest WSJ.com survey found.

Most economists said the economy would perform best in the coming years if Democrats take control of at least one chamber of Congress. Only 12 of the 35 who answered the question said the economy would perform best under continued Republican control of the House and Senate. The best scenario, the economists said, would be Democratic control of the House only. The economists were almost evenly split over whether the stock market would perform better with a continued Republican lock on Congress or some measure of Democratic control.

Heh. Sean Hannity must be gagging.
