Day After the Election

Confrontations abroad. A divided Congress at home. A budget stalemate on the horizon that threatens another recession. Don't forget the Middle East.

Come Nov. 7, President Obama or President-elect Mitt Romney might be forgiven if he pines for the good old days of campaign rallies and negative ads.

The world won't wait for either man to enjoy his victory celebration. The bad blood and battle lines between Democrats and Republicans are likely to spill over rather swiftly from politics to policy matters. And only 55 days will remain before a convergence of tax increases and spending cuts threatens to throw the slowly healing U.S. economy back into recession.

On November 7th all you're going to hear is "countdown to the fiscal cliff."

On Novenber 7th who will happier?
