Election Stocks: Advisors offer their picks for if Obama or McCain wins

In this series, TheStockAdvisors.com asked financial experts to name their top stock pick if McCain or if Obama wins the election.

On election day, there's no better time for investors to ask themselves which stocks would benefit from a victory by either Senator John McCain or Senator Barack Obama. To help investors sort through the sectors and stocks best positioned to benefit in a post-election environment, I asked some of the nation's leading financial newsletter advisors to name their choices for each candidate.

Even though Obama is expected to win, the stocks that would benefit from McCain presidency are still worth a look in case there is a surprise result.

Importantly, this is not a partisan report; each participating advisor has provided a favorite stock for both candidates, focused not on political preferences but on unbiased stock research. Below we feature those stocks and ETFs that the advisors believe will be the winners depending on which candidate prevails.

McCain Stocks:
