It's a pretty much status quo situation for the country, which is really a worst case. Would have been better for either a Romney win or a blowout Obama win, someone would have had a mandate. This is practically a tie, yes Obama stays in place but so does the GOP congress who will not cave in and allow Obama to raise taxes and hike domestic spending. So, hello $20 trillion (or maybe more by 2016). I'm buying more gold, personally.
