#1 It's that itchy trigger finger again. Opinion, yes, but surely not Lurid Crime Tales. Sorry!

#2 It is interesting to see the dynamic that the 9/11 has permanently imposed on the American election cycle. Poll gains by peaceniks in August recede like the tide in September as defense becomes a priority again. I wonder whether GW would have been reelected had the attack been in March vice September.

#3 I don't think it really matters, people don't pay attention until elections get close and the Demo's always shoot themselves in the foot. When people start getting piss at Repub they turn to Demo's the Demo's start talking and people go ooookkkk back to repubs. :)

#5 #4 anon2u - Not to brag or anything, but a couple of stations in Chesterfield County, VA, (outside Richmond) were at $1.98 this afternoon. (I heard it on the radio; they didn't give the station names, but the locations mentioned they were probably a Sheetz and a WaWa.)

Even the Exxon near my house was at $2.02 this afternoon. What's really interesting is that the station across the street from the Exxon is still at $2.19. Is anyone stupid enough to buy there? Why?

#6 Interesting comparison..... from "cheap gas in Austin, TX" ... far north of Austin, gas at $2.15... far south of Austin,... best price at $2.28. Big difference. Maybe a 15 mile difference.

Then drive about 30 miles south, mid-way between Austin and San Antonio, gas is always about $.10 more than the south Austin price. All stations, all brands get gas from one source. Thus, the difference.
