so far, about 100 million shares have traded in the afterhours trading.

for perspective, AIG normally trades about 20 million per day. lately it's been up a bit, i'd say.

Unbelievable stuff but true

This guy cant his act straight one minute to the next. I mean a man who at least had some integrity as a Senator is pissing it all away to try to be President. It's pathetic but worse more pathetic is that many voters support him and his idiot sidekick.
