gas prices have fallen about .60$ in ohio in the last month.

i am thinking because ohio is a "swing state", that somehow the prices are being lowered by the government so that people will think that things are getting better and will vote for democrats and obama

i fully expect the prices will skyrocket after november 6th

Probably. It's certainly unusual for gas prices to fall in October.

Yes, large corporations like oil companies overwhelmingly support Obama, and so do the owners of the gas stations that they're colluding with.

The Democrats just eliminated that gas tax. Because if you use gas to get to your polling place that could be considered a poll tax :D

In what possible way could this be accomplished? Your speculation hardly seems rational.

Aye, here's the point. Assuming that the Democrats wanted to do this, what mechanism exists for them to accomplish that goal? When all possible answers result in a null value the argument has no legs.

Well of course everyone really knows that Obama is releasing the strategic petroleum reserve only to Ohio right now. It was in all the papers! :)

I guess an elaborate conspiracy to affect gas prices is an easier pill to swallow than market fluctuations?

For the record they are down considerably in Wa&Or too and we are solid blue already.
