The Politics of Gasoline Prices

I've seen several journalist tout how gasoline will hurt Republicans in elections this fall. This is just a small post to tell you that isn't going to happen.

Here's why

• The general election is in the fall when gas prices are declining.
• Investigations into the practices of the oil industry have been viewed as bipartisian.
• The general view is that both parties are culpible for the perceived inaction taken against the oil industry.
