The price-at-the-pump prices will drop to be more reflective of the price per barrel as fall approaches and the hurricane season passes.

If history is a guide, barring stupendous OPEC or weather drama, they'll fall fairly substantially. They may not get under $3.00/gallon, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was in the low $3-and-change range by October/November.

That will be a nice consolation for me, should McCain lose the election.

It won't last. The prices tend to go in cycles as a function of weather in the industrialized countries (weighed to the northern hemisphere). I'm not sure to what extent the dramatic recent rises of the past year or so have screwed up those cycles. I'd have to stare at the 70s-era price hikes to get a feel for it, and thinking about the days when gas was pennies a gallon would depress me.

Then I hope he doesnt win double because there is no nice consolation for another republican being office after 8 years of this garbage.

As bad as the last 8 years have been, I highly doubt Al Gore would've done a better job, or even John Kerry for that matter.

Clinton left office with the economy ready to take a nosedive.

Plus, McCain isn't Bush, no matter how much Barack wants you to think he is. W is way more conservative.

It doesn't matter if you're drunk at the wheel (Bush) or asleep at the wheel (McCain), you end up in the same fucking ditch (Bush=McCain). They take different paths, but arrive at the same fucked-up destination. You'll get your anti-abortion and anti-gay agenda with McCain at the end of the day.

McCain is a tease. He can be such a maverick, taking it to his Republican friends and sometimes allying with Democrats, but he rarely gets anywhere with that. In the end, after much handwringing, he makes the conservative choices (Palin) and voting patterns on partisan issues.

AFAICT, the only point of divergence that's ever amounted to anything that strayed from Bush was the Gang Of 14, and that was more about preserving the Senate's policy to dodge tough choices (cloture vs. the "nuclear option") than about core issues we care about.

The oil company may well have never stopped screwing us. But Bill OReally just couldn't make a valid point. Even Cavuto gets to nail him.
