What the heck happened to "Bush and his oil company friends want to rule the world!" business??? Unbelievable shilling for Kerry from Reuters.
The gas prices where I am have gone down .05 per gallon since Saturday.

Oil traders wait for the start of trading at the opening of the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) European trading pit, at the International Financial Services Center in Dublin, November 1, 2004. Oil prices fell heavily on Monday, taking U.S. crude below $50 on speculation that a U.S. election win for Senator John Kerry (news - web sites) could ease the geopolitical friction that helped spark this year's record rally.

if kerry is elected, oil prices will be down and the sears tower will also be down....
Oil is already down 10% from early last week. Kerry's too late.
What a pathetic sentence.
Will oil prices be 10 percent less, or will be prices themselves cost 10 percent less? I thought price=cost, not that the prices had a cost themselves.
OK, let me get this straight...
The candidate who is going to (attempt to) raise the minimum wage is going to bring down oil prices. Nice.
Econ 101: A raise in the minimum wage is either going to increase inflation or increase unemployment (and most likely both).
Oil will be 10% cheaper if the election ends.
What they fail to mention is he'll use the strategic oil reserve (that Bush has been building) to do it.
"...on speculation that a U.S. election win for Senator John Kerry..."
This is so much BS. Kerry is down in the polls, if there was any speculation about the election, prices would be going up according to this rationale.
Oil will be down 10% some time in the next 4 years regardless of who is elected. (Hell, it'll probably be down to 4 bits a gallon if Nadar is elected 'cause he'll outlaw driving.) Go Ralphie, go!
I am not clairvoyant but gas prices will fall after the election. The world shortage was partly contrived by anti Bush people to try to get Kerry elected. If it were to stay high, research into alternative fuel would surge and other fuels would be found soon. University of Colorado has a grant to study the production of hydrogen by concentrated solar light.
Let's not be rough on the brave Reuters reporters!! It is Reuters reporters secretly working for the Mossad who have been able to learn about and report on Hamas leaders. In fact, Reuters reporters are the ones who actually planted the "material" that caused Arafat's illness. Sure, these Reuters' employees get paid LOTS of money by Israel, but their "kill" list of Palestinian terrorists certainly makes it a bargain. So, while the Reuters folks may appear to be working for the other side, they are, every day, helping to kill Hamas leaders! So, back off a little.
It was mentioned. See below the picture.
Kerry is seen as more likely to use the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to cool prices
BTW - didn't clinton do this and it had little or no affect on oil prices?
What's sKerry's plan to keep the Seven World Oil Chokepoints open?

What does he plan to do about the effect of huge asian demand on the equation? (1.2 billion people in China, 1 billion people in India, all of whom want to be warm in the winter, cool in the summer, and drive SUVs as much as any American.)
Boy is my face red.
Although it bears repeating, Kerry would rather win political points by lowering gas prices temporarily instead of putting fuel into our tanks during a possible crisis.
...and yes Clinton did the very same thing Kerry will do if elected.
