The game in those pits is derivatives, those highly mathematical financial instruments that few people understand but many insist are dangerous. For corporate financial officers, the universe of ““quantos,’’ ““swaptions’’ and ““principal-only strips’’ has long since ceased to be exotic.

It’s not just the message and the man and the speeches that are swaying Democratic voters–though they are.
