Looking for the sunny, specious hucksterism of the campaign trail? Step right up--Hillary will give it to you.

When Citigroup?s model of one-stop financial shopping becomes officially available to the rest of the corporate herd, get ready for a merger stampede; Merrill Lynch, Lehman and DLJ are all potential acquisitions (or acquisitors). And in the meantime, financial stocks may be a pretty good...
