"The markets are betting that the Democrats will lose Kennedy's seat in the Senate," they thrilled, "and this will not only kill health care reform, but all the rest of the Obama agenda." Most mentioned banking reform and labor rights, like Employee Free Choice. Then they also mentioned that pharmaceutical and insurance stocks seemed to be leading the way higher.
