I actually wouldn't be surprised either, though I'm thinking it would be due to massive voter fraud as the undead show up at the polling places to vote.
Why not just ban liberals from voting then? After all, only liberals are capable of cheating.

Sorry, but I'm not going to rise to that bait, I just want stricter enforcement to make sure people aren't voting a dozen times each, that illegal immigrants aren't voting, etc. Other than that, if you are a US citizen and a resident of the area in question, and of the appropriate age (18 or over), and haven't been convicted of a felony; you should be able to vote in an election whether you are liberal, conservative, or independent.
Also they are now predicting $6 a gallon gasoline, looks like Glenn Beck is right.

What reputable source is predicting it is going to $6 a gallon, and if so when?
I think when it hits $5 there is going to be a lower demand to stabilize the price; I feel bad for the people that can't afford it, but maybe some of our technological abilities will finally be put to use for more fuel efficient vehicles, and possible alternate sources of energy. The oil spill has hurt the politics of drilling offshore, so we are at the mercy of other countries for oil as it stands now, into the distant future.
The sad part of it too, is less money in the economy. Less money for entertainment, recreation, and travel to get to any destination to spend that money. I worked in the recreation field and when we had a big surge in prices after Hurricane Ivan, it hit businesses in our area hard.
Another 50% increase in gas would spell trouble for whatever administration is present; it is too far reaching not to seriously upset people.

I get it. If a conservative doesn't get elected it must mean that some lowlife hobos, criminals, and dirty Mexicans cheated the system. All red-blooded Fox News viewing Americans (i.e. REAL Americans) vote Republican. Only lowlife scum and parasites vote for democrats.

I posted the article in the Glenn Beck thread about inflation, it is a left wing source.
A dollar plumbing three-year lows is hitting Americans squarely in the gas tank, and one economist thinks it could drive prices as high as $6 a gallon or more by summertime under the right conditions.
With the greenback coming under increased pressure from Federal Reserve policies and investor appetite for more risk, there seems little direction but up for commodity prices, in particular energy and metals.
Weakness in the US currency feeds upward pressure on commodities, which are priced in dollars and thus come at a discount on the foreign markets.
One result has been a surge higher in gasoline prices to nearly $4 a gallon before the summer driving season even starts, a trend that economists say will be aggravated as demand increases and the summer storm season threatens to disrupt oil supplies.
"All we have to have is a couple badly placed hurricanes which could constrain some of the refinery output capacity in some key locations," says Richard Hastings, strategist at Global Hunter Securities in Charlotte, N.C. "If you get weakness in the dollar concurrent with the strong driving season concurrent with the impact of one or two hurricanes in the wrong place, prices could go up in a quasi-exponential manner."

Nope, it won't stabilize because a lot of this has to do with fiscal policy destroying the value of the Dollar.

Heh, no worries of that with the Government Printing money the way it is, just the money is going to be worth less and less.

If you paid attention to 2008 election, you would know that Obama was preaching that he basically wanted energy prices to skyrocket.
@ Bethie
Hope you enjoy using you paycheck as toilet paper, because that's all its going to be worth if we suffer through 2 terms of Obama.
