a different perspective from alan hartung on the emerging church, politics, faith, and life

Just wanted to go on the record to say these are the lowest gas prices I’ve seen, probably in the entire second term of the Bush administration.

Prices dropped throughout October, and… I predicted it. I proclaimed often this spring to all of my friends that gas prices would drop incredibly before the election. The oil companies know who is good for them, and since Republicans are linked to big oil, lower prices mean less angst about oil connections.

Does it make a difference? Probably not in this election. But in a close election, 1 out of 100 persons could be all the difference in the world.

Gas prices have dropped more than twice as much in the fall of an election year under Bush as they normally do.

Here’s another prediction: Gas will be at least a dollar higher than current pump prices by Dec. 15.
