Oh, yeah, right - you're just trying to use me as an excuse...

Thus proving neither of you has the slightest clue about that of which
of speak...granted, if I had to pick one, right now, today, it would be
McCain, but it certainly wouldn't leave me feeling at ease with the
choice - I'd do it more to balance the loony, out-for-themselves Dems,
like Pelosi, Reid, and Schumer (Frank is a loon, too, but from what I
know about him, he's at least an honorable one...) than any other single
reason. OTOH, Obama winning wouldn't "upset" me terribly, either, esp.
if the Dems don't get a walk-through Congress. As to the economy,
taxes, Federal spending and other Fed income-outgo issues, taking each
at their word, they're both as full of **** as Christmas geese and
neither has the slightest clue about how to "fix" the situation. As to
abortion, it is the biggest red herring in politics - it's not going to
get banned, nor should it be, unless and until science says "life"
begins at some point before birth. I don't think it would be possible
to find even 2 people that would make it to the SC that would get near
it - it isn't a Federal legal issue and it has nothing whatsoever to do
with the Constitution.

As to Barr, etc., not even on my radar screen as far as voting for
him/them.

Now there's a shocking revelation. ;-)

Nobody has the slightest clue about how to fix this ****storm.

Wrong. Lots of people have lots good ideas...unfortunately, they are
not going to get folks re-elected, so...

We're in uncharted territory and it's all going to be made up
as we go along.

Wrong and probably so.

The question is whose team do you want calling
the shots. I'll take Volker, Buffet, Reich and Obama

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, SPLORK VANG MU, SNICKER, and
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!...and is that a Chinese Buffet or pizza buffet you hope
will help?

over McCain and whoever is left on the nearly empty GOP bench.

Either way, I'm sure that sniveling little (and I don't mean just
physically) **** Reich would blow a goat to get back in _any_ kind of
position that he sees as power, so whoever wins, I'm sure he'd be dying
to, er, "help." As to Volker, shades of Jimmy Carter. As to Buffett,
er, well, no. Not a bad man, just not up to fixing this mess, but I'm
sure he'd help whomever if asked, and I think both would ask.

Oh, BTW, oil and gasoline are down, what, half from where they were just
a few months ago...

It's down over a buck (best price around $2.99 gal, more common is $3.19 gal
from the mid summer highs ($4.19 ish gal), I wonder when/if the pump price
will reflect the price per barrel that is now less than half the summer high
of around $147.00 a barrel (currently less than $70.00 a barrel)? In my
estimation, the price at the pump should be closer to $2.00 a gal or less...

Great plan for reducing gasoline prices: Wreck the world economy to
reduce demand.

Hmm...lessee...demand has fallen roughly 1% while prices have fallen
roughly 50%...again, supply and demand weren't the problem.

You estimate incorrectly, and it's down to $2.50ish on the Gulf Coast,
Texas and OK. There are 42 gallons of crude in a bbl, so for a _rough_
idea, excluding taxes, refining costs, etc., divide the price of oil by
40: 70 divided by 40 is $1.75 Add a minimum of about 40 cents tax
(maybe more, depending on where you are), and so, you're at $2.15, then
there's transport, blending costs, etc. (Commodity gasoline is $1.65 as
of this post). Plus, you aren't buying gasoline made with today's oil,
so there is some legit "lag," too. And then, there's ethanol to
consider, which is less per gallon, but that's as a commodity, not as a
final interblend ingredient at the pump (and FWIW, unless your vehicle
is designed for it, the more ethanol in the gasoline, the more net fuel
cost per mile you'll pay).
