One of them - winning the Presidency.
Of course if you're Mitt Romney you might want to stick to playing power ball.

I never used to follow the stockmarket, but I have ever since I inherited a small brokerage account two years ago, so I know that this is by no means a crash. But some working class guy who gets all his "news" from Rush and Glenn may not know this.
(BTW, the Dow is back up.)
