A Bush win won't give the dollar a boost... perhaps if he had no track record and was coming in as a fresh republican candidate.
Murdering of the budget surplus speaks much more than false promises of fiscal restraint.

Plus his budget is already out, there aren't any cuts in spending in it, cutting the deficit depends purely on increased tax receipts.

Bush also isn't that big a friend to free trade, he changed his mind a few times over steel tariffs until his hand was forced by the WTO..
