...Polls still show a hangover from November 2006, with Democrats having an advantage. But history suggests that may not hold up. Winning control of Congress doesn't necessarily signify much about the next presidential contest. The last time Congress flipped was 1994--and that GOP sweep was followed by a Bill Clinton victory in 1996.

But owning Rolls-Royce gives BMW some intangible benefits: prestige and bragging rights. It proves it can sell cars that sweep the breadth of the market, from budget to budget-busting. To be sure, if the world's economy sputters and all car sales go off a cliff, and if BMW's profits were to take a major hit, "Rolls-Royce would probably be the first thing to go," Rhys says...
