Slate has been tracking the presidential candidates’ fortunes in various online trading markets. Since the end of May, shares in Arizona Sen. John McCain have slid from around $17 to $4. If you really believe in McCain, it’s a great time to buy; each $4 share will be worth $100 if he wins the GOP nomination.

All of the GOP candidates are junk bonds.
Hillary and Obama both have high stock, but when they inevitably become Pres. and Vice-Pres. candidates, expect a merger every bit as potent as AOL/Time-Warner.
I’m guessing that with McCain losing the money wars today, that he won’t make it unless he amazes to a wide audience somewhere along the line.
I’m also predicting the same fate for John Edwards.
