All that text dedicated to describing the symptoms but not a single sentence to tell us what caused the shortage?

That should give McCain a boost.

McCain wants to DRILL and the Demoncrats don't.

Demoncrats ENJOY seeing you in pain - financial or otherwise. Then they have CONTROL over you through the crisis's they create, by choice.

Why are there lines and shortages in NC? Are they more directly impacted by the oil issues off the Texas coast than we are here in Michigan? Heck we’re the ones job and industry losses.

I think these shortages in the southeast & midwest may be more responsible for Obama’s swoon than anything else. It’d explain why we haven’t seen a bounce for Obama in the battleground polls, even though it’s been about a week and half now since he started regaining in the national polls.

Classes at NC college canceled due to gas shortage

17 hours ago

ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) — A gas shortage that's frustrating drivers in the Southeast has prompted a community college in North Carolina to cancel classes for the rest of the week.

Officials say an increasing number of the 25,000 commuter students at several campuses of Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College aren't showing up.

A spokeswoman for the college in western North Carolina says even professors are calling to say they're stuck at home.

Drivers throughout much of the Southeast have been scrambling to find gas since Hurricane Ike shut down or reduced work at more than a dozen refineries on the Texas Gulf Coast. Some stations don't have gas to sell, while others report long lines.

North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley says more gas is headed to the state.

It’s got to be localized. Plenty of gas in the Kansas City area, and our prices have been drifting lower.

This reminds me of the 1970s and why I am more than happy to pay the market going price for gas.

Gas shortages reportedly critical in western N.C.

Who says y'all can't go home again?

Shocking.

Same thing happened after Katrina. Now Ike. Actually, these gas shortages are good preparation for the future, so we are ahead of the rest of the country. Can't wait for Obama, Pelosi and Reid to come to our...I mean, the Earth's rescue with their energy plan. Gas shortages for everybody!

Abandoned vehicles could be seen this morning along the sides of roads across the area -- apparently the result of drivers running out of fuel.

Same problem in Atlanta. I went to the AJC online to check on the situation and couldn’t believe all the posters who said this is some oil company conspiracy. I’m beginning to think humanity has reached some critical mass of stupidity.

I would bet the majority of these people are in the “drill here, drill now” group of voters at this point in time!

Gov. Mike "Taxes" Easley and his whole crew have been asleep at the wheel. This never should have happened.

There are lines in Mecklenburg (Charlotte) and Union County. My friend was stuck in traffic for 20 minutes this morning and thought it must have been an accident. Nope. It was from gas lines. So here you have people already low on gas burning up 20 minutes worth sitting in a traffic jam. Where were the police?

The Govenor should have been on this a week ago.

If these people would only inflate their tires, we wouldn't be in this mess. When will they learn!
