As predictable as the sunrise

The race gets super-tight just before the election. SURPRISE!

It's comical watching the pundits. Even though Obama is still ahead in virtually every poll, we're being led to believe that Romney has closed the gap. But the shifts are all within the margin of error. So maybe Romney hasn't gained anything at all. But far be it for the talking heads to point this out...there are four more weeks of ad space to sell!

Win-win for the oil companies: more profits, and pressure on the voters to blame Obama for the prices.
