 CTV.ca - Social Democrat wins Austrian election- CTV News, Shows and Sports -- Canadian Television
— A senior parliamentary official on Sunday defeated a rival backed by right-wing populist Joerg Haider in a presidential election that also indicated voter dissatisfaction with the country's government.
The Austrian president is commander in chief of country's tiny military, and the constitution gives the president the power to reject nominations for Cabinet ministers or even to remove them from office -- something that has rarely been done.
Current President Thomas Klestil, who put distance during his tenure from his backers -- the People's Party -- to become a political independent, is ending his second six-year term and is prohibited by the constitution from running for re-election.

 Asia Times - Asia's most trusted news source
The Presidential Election Cycle Theory (PECT) of stock prices suggests that stock-market moves follow the four-year US presidential election cycle, with stocks declining soon after a president is elected when harsh and unpopular measures are necessary to bring inflation, government spending and deficits under control for the long-term health of the economy.
For the 2004 election, while there is clear evidence of an economic case for higher US interest rates to restrain another debt bubble even if inflation pressure may not surface, Wall Street is betting that low interest rates will persist until after the election.
Whoever is president after the coming election, the first two years of his term will likely be consumed with the need for harsh measures to deal with a falling dollar, a runaway budget deficit, a reinflated debt bubble, a jobless recovery and a fiscal black hole in the "war on terrorism".
