It's typical of Joel's scattershot accusations and rambling, at times incomprehensible, style of writing. The dot-com bubble burst in 2000 before the election.
If your stocks had been skyrocketing for a decade and you knew the candidate you were backing would both win the upcoming election and wreck the economy when he did, what would you do? Leave your money where it was and watch it go up in flames, or take your profits and put them somewhere safer?
On that note, another question you need not answer, since it is private: How HAVE your stocks done since January '09 (when the Dow was 5000 points lower.)

One can't say "regarding" unless one has referred to something first.

Yes, but past conventions also decided it; now it is just reiterated and marketed (or downplayed.)

Ideally, I'm trying to just get as many people as possible to not vote Obama.
