Of course it could happen and GW could be the one to do it. And obviously, it's a small sample size from which to make such a bold statement as "he won't win this race because he won the QE II." I'm not making that statement here though. Only saying that history thus far is stacked against him and I don't think that I'm going to be anywhere close to willing to take the short price that he's sure to be to see if he's going to be the one to buck the trend.
