thing is if it dropped because of there being an election it would have to help whichever party is in power in that particular state

while we overall may tend to blame whoever is president overall on issues

Come local election time we tend to blame whoever is in power in our area

Post by: eagl on September 15, 2006, 11:58:00 AM: I like it how the president managed to make it so a deepwater gulf oil drilling project spanning 20 years somehow managed to strike it rich right before a critical election season. Our president must be a genius to pull that off!

Er... If he is that smart, why do so many people simultaneously claim he's stupid and smart enough to manipulate the global economy to help out his own part, which doesn't even support him, during an election?

Back about that same time, I had a job after school pumping gas at the Texaco station. The pumps had mechanical displays, with only one dollar digit. I still remember the day gas went up to $0.299 and I was able to barely squeeze $10 into a lady's Cadillac. That pump rolling over from $9.99 to $0.00 was a conversation piece around the station for some time :)
