I am a Pastor, and I learned something a long time ago that is not taught in biology ...the shortest nerve in the human body goes from the wallet to the brain. Americans don’t like high oil prices and they will vote for whomever they feel will do SOMETHING to alleviate $4 a gallon gas. Politicians can pontificate all they want, but come november the party that shows the most promise of bringing down oil pricea and working on boltering alternative energy should score big.
The problem is that the mind-numbed idiots are still blaming the evil oil companies. The GOP is dropping the ball on this issue, they should be running commercials and having press conferences attacking the Dems.
