It's believed that spiking gas prices prior to these elections may have helped defeat the incumbent party.
"The five elections where gas prices may have had an impact were in 1976, when Gerald Ford lost to Jimmy Carter; in 1980, when Mr. Carter lost to Ronald Reagan; in 1992, when George H.W. Bush lost to Bill Clinton; in 2000, when Al Gore lost to George W. Bush; and in 2008, when John McCain lost to Obama."
If prices go up, it's the incumbents' fault, and if prices go down, it's "the invisible hand of the market."
Have you blow hard douche-bags ever said anything, that wasn't a lie?
