2. Gas prices drop before elections...

...at least, when Republicans are in power. The oil companies prefer to miss out on 2 quarters' obscene profits to ensure that compliant Congressmen/Senators/Presidents are elected. Maybe the Publicans are leaning on them, or maybe Big Oil just knows which side its bread is buttered on.

Regardless, this happened in 2006 as well. Didn't work then, won't work this time either.
