I remember in one of these things before the last election, they had Bush winning like 394 or something like that in electorial votes and as many as 400 plus. Didn't happen did it? I don't trust any of this stuff. Polls change by the minute, event, if you are having a bad day, whatever. In the end, I think this election, like all of them, will come down to $$$$$$$. People are going to, for the most part, vote where it will benefit their pocketbooks the most. Gas prices, oil prices, losses in the market, etc., will cause stupid people to do stupid things, thus end up costing Bush the election. Iraq, the war on terror, etc., will also play into it. But, $2.00 plus on gas prices will cause some to bolt. I saw an interview with some people, on the news cast the other day, that asked about gas prices. About 95% of the ones said, it started with Bush and big oil. Get Bush out, prices come down. You know and I know that is crap, but uninformed people vote that way. Just like the poll last week where only 48% of the people had HEARD of the UN oil for food program scandle. 48%!!!!

I agree. Many people who vote are uninformed, and vote for things that impact them in daily life. The price of gas. There are lots of big vehicles on the road today with drivers who aren't too happy about shelling out $50 to fill them up. The price of gas could be a huge issue in November.

Anyone who thinks Bush is responsible for $2.00 gas should be told that it is the environmentalist wackos (Democrats) who are responsible for $2.00 gas. They prevent any attempt at new exploration and production of energy. Our side does not do a good job of proclaiming this truth.
