My liberal associates are of the opinion that it is no coincidence that gas prices are dropping just before the election.
Well, that machine that Bush and Rove have in the White House is a marvelous contraption. Spin a dial here and prices go up and down. Flip this lever and the economy tanks; flip it the other way and the economy hums.
Back in 2000, O'Bannon suspended Indiana's gas tax as a political gimmick. Gas was close to $2 a gallon, and people were screaming. He won the election, of course--and bankrupted the state even more that he already had.
One said this to me and I told him, "Yes, I know. And it ticks me off that everyone else is now getting to pay the same low price Republicans have been paying for over a year."
