Nothing sinks a commodity's price faster than a glut, and voters have seen a lot of Gore these past few months. From the enthusiastic kiss planted on wife, Tipper, at the Democratic Convention to the three televised debates, Gore does not appear to benefit from overexposure. Perhaps recent stock market volatility has turned attention to Bush's promise to cut taxes more than Gore. Maybe Ralph Nader has convinced enough voters that Gore is too beholden to corporate influence. Or maybe it's just that Bush has better hair.
Traders rely heavily on studying price charts.
And Gore's chart is not looking good.
