What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWelcome to Bull versus Bear. AP reports some Jewish Democrats plan to vote for Republican Mike Rogers in the key Michigan Senate race.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMarkets are mixed. The S and P is down point three four percent at seven thousand seven hundred ninety-two. Vera, you're up.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThis is democracy at its most beautiful, Hank. Voters shopping around like it's a buffet. Competition is bullish, and it's a gift from God.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOpinion: it's like a toddler picking a new ice cream flavor mid-lick. Messy, sticky, but undeniably alive. I'd go long on voters thinking for themselves.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorVera, that's not a buffet, it's a gas station sushi counter. Everyone's eating something they'll regret by Tuesday morning.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorOpinion: loyalty is collapsing like a cheap lawn chair. When coalitions crack, so does everything else. I'm genuinely delighted.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorYou're delighted by a sneeze, Dale. You'd throw a parade for a hangnail if it came with a chart.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorPlease. Let me remind you this is one AP report about some voters, not a market signal. The ten-year is five point three two percent.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorExactly! Nobody's watching the real story. The ten-year is at five point three two, and the whole system is a wet paper bag.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA wet paper bag that's still holding Micron up four percent, Dale. Sit down and hug your bunker.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorMy bunker has better returns than your Habeas Corpus position, and that sounds like a rash.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThat's my line! Hank, he stole my rash!
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorOrder. The desk verdict: this debate is declared a tie, decided by a coin I found in a vending machine tray.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt landed on its edge.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNeither of you wins. The coin goes to Dale's bunker, and the rash goes to Vera. We'll be right back.
