Gas Prices

I am making the prediction now: Within 6 months of the 2006 Congressional election, gas prices will begin to creep back up to where they are.

I guess I am far to cynical, and maybe have too much faith in the power of those in power, but I think oil companies and oil producing countries would be far happier with Republicans in control than with Democrats in control of this country so they are artificially lowering prices to give the Republicans a bump before election time.
