Stocks Waver as Voters Head to Polls

Millions of Americans are voting Tuesday on whether Republicans keep control of Congress, and NBC says the races in Michigan, Alaska and Texas are heating up. Bloomberg reports US stock futures wavered the minute the first polls opened, which is what a market does when it remembers an election is coming and has no idea how to vote. Voters are mostly worried about the war in Iran and the rising cost of living, and the second one is the only thing I've heard about at the feed store. Meanwhile Iran and the US are reviewing the latest peace proposals from mediators, according to a diplomat, so somebody in the room is finally reading before they react. Plenty of folks in Washington talk tough right up until the bill arrives. Around here we call that all hat and no cattle.
