Cramer smells "desperation" in the anticompetitive merger and believes there is a rush to merge that should spread to other sectors as well, because "corporations are racing against the political clock." "It looks like the government of, for and by the corporation' in pursuit of profits could be on the way out," Jim said. "The Street has the feeling a Democrat could win the White House in 2008." If this happens, he continued, it could mean a change in the kinds of mergers that are allowed. However, luckily, "the current Justice Department doesn't know the meaning of anticompetitive," Jim said. Therefore, he believes there will be "one last monopolistic deal explosion before the party ends." "I believe we are going to get a wave of these monopolistic mergers in the next two years," Jim said. The following are 10 possible anticompetitive mergers that Cramer believes could get through the Justice Department for a limited amount of time:
