No....DECIDEDLY no.

It is far too early to see how this election will play out. I dare say that it is the independent voters who will decide this election more than any other demographic....and their vote will be swayed by GAS PRICES and the ECONOMY at the time of the election.

I dare say that there is a good chance that gas prices will be approaching $5.00 by the time fall rolls around, and the economy seems to be stalling AGAIN right now. So who knows what November will bring. With the lack of leadership and the tendency to shift BLAME by this president, my bet is that only the die hard democrats will be admitting to voting for the total failure that this administration has shown to be.
Not to burst your bubble but most analysts think GAS prices will be down by Memorial Day much less the election. The wholesale RBOB price already dropped 30 cents in the past two weeks. Retail has come down 5cents with more to come. And unemployment is slowly but steadily improving. It will be solidly below 8% (and headed in the right direction) by November. It's time to pay the wages of your party's racist and divisive ways. Your days are numbered.

The truth is, a tough stance on illegal immigration can only help Romney, not only with the vast majority of Americans, but with any Latino voters who would ever possibly consider voting Republican in the first place.
- from the Coulter column

I think she's right.

there is nothing to talk about. Like blacks follow democrats, white males go republican. Its been like that for decades. Nobody ever talks about blacks voting democrat (well except for the past election) because its widely excepted that we will vote democrat. Its the same for white males, obama will get crushed in that demographic.

I agree with Ann Coulter on this one.

Gas prices always go up in the summer months so I doubt your prediction will pan out. The recent trends in unemployment do not say it is going down, but is starting to go back up, mainly because it didn't go down to begin with. Of course, we know those numbers get cooked so the public might be told something again that is a lie. But people know when they are unemployed and can't find work, they know when family members are unemployed and have run out of benefits and still can't find work, they know it's taking more money each time the go grocery shopping and they get less and less. They know they were better off before Obama took office. People are not stupid!

Gas prices go down in summer from a peak around Memorial Day. They fall even more after summer. The pattern is well established. Anyway what I said is fact not speculation. Prices are falling and they are not going to even as high as they were last year according to most experts much less above $4 as they did when Bush was president. Unemployment has not started to go back up. For the latest period reporting it was DOWN. Romney people have trouble with the truth, but facts are facts. You are not going to have either gas or the economy by November leaving the Reps to the usual race-bating, war mongering, misogynist positions that aren't going to work in a changed demographic. You should have nominated Santorum. At least his vitriol is genuine.

come on the way they calculate unemployment is the same way they did it in the regan administration, in the age of the internet and fox news you really think obama couldget away with faking unemployment numbers.

and the price of gas will look down look at the price of brent crude gas is already down 5 cent nationally. The only reason the price spiked was because of the isreal and Iran stuff like liberals said. Now that the top Isreali general said I ran probably is not going to build a bomb, the oil futures are falling.

you can predict the gas prices by looking at the futures market.
come on consrvatives tricks are for kids.

As I said.....we'll see. All of your left wing blabbering makes me even more convinced that I am right and you are confused. Thanks for that.

Uh....GAS prices are determined these days by SPECULATORS Mr. Einstein. So as for your 'FACTS'? They are as full of CRAP as you are.
Carry on though...your ignorance is quite entertaining.

At this point, it is all promises that are never kept.

Look at past campaigns and elected officials candidacies.
