After observing Mr. Talent earlier this month at the Governor's Ham Breakfast at the Missouri State Fair, he said he is likely to base his vote on the price of gas come Nov. 7.

LOL, and Talent has control over the price of gas how?? You mean to tell me this idiot will vote for a Democrat who comes from the party that is largely responsible for gas prices being so high with the Clinton era cleaning burning fuel mandates that created 30 different fuel blends, Democrats who regulated refinery building out of existence decades ago and Democrats who constantly resist drilling in ANWR and increasing domestic production elsewhere??? Sure idiot, vote for Bill Clinton's candidate, McCaskill, the same Bill Clinton who vetoed ANWR drilling in 1996 which if he had not the price of gas would be 50 cents a gallon cheaper now.

God, if this is the kind of idiocy out there in the country right now, I give up. Voting based on the price of gas, and for the party which would weaken us in the war on terror. Brilliant. People like this dummy shouldn't even be allowed to vote.

It does get rather depressing when you look at large cross-sections of the electorate, doesn't it? I wonder if even, God forbid, a nuclear attack on American soil would wake up some of these idiots. They would blame Bush and America for bringing it on themselves.

Stay strong bro. MSM flysheets like this article serve two propaganda purposes; to boost the Dems hopes and to suppress Republican turnout. Don't buy into it.

Well said. Local paper had an article wondering why here in Texas high gas prices *dont* translate into electoral gains for Democrats. Bizarre.

The real reason gas prices are so high is due to economics 101 - supply and demand - high Chinese and global demand in a successfully growing global economy is running up against limits on supply due to 20 years of underinvestment in new oil fields, itself a consequence of 20 years of relatively low prices. To that explanation, Democrats respond: "Economics? who needs it!" And start bashing "Big Oil", a bad thing, not to be confused with Big Labor, Big Law Firms and Big Government, which are all cuddly and harmless.

The Democrat policies have been responsible for high prices to the extant that they diminish domestic energy supply and infrastructure, such as fighting against ANWR, against refinieries, etc. and impose overly restrictive gasoline formulation regulations.

"Sure idiot, vote for Bill Clinton's candidate, McCaskill, the same Bill Clinton who vetoed ANWR drilling in 1996 which if he had not the price of gas would be 50 cents a gallon cheaper now."

Now, we know the secret reason the Democrat do these votes to screw up the economy. The worse the economy, the better it is for Democrats.

Yeah, why would he ever think that? Republicans control the Presidency and both houses of congress for 12 years and they can't do anything but play with themselves. Instead of getting an energy bill, permanent tax cuts, or anything else, they wasted time attempting to score points with the holier than thou squad over Terri Schiavo and stem cell research, pissing off the vast majority of the country in the process. If Talent loses this fall it's not going to because of gas prices as much as his position on stem cell research.

Seems like our side should be shouting from the roof tops that it is the Democrats who consistently vote against further oil exploration and production.
