Oil nears $50, heading for $60?

Will Kerry pick up on this?

That's a good question. The downside of that angle is that prices at the pump are quite a bit lower than they were when oil was 42$/barrel. 20 cents at my local station, for example.

So far the Kerry campaign's highlight has been "We have better hair". Two months ago I was really leaning toward Kerry but seeing how weak Kerry's campaign is gives me no confidence in him. Kerry didn't convince anyone to vote for him at the convention. Bush did.

I'm back to even. No vote for me. For sure. I'm done. Neither candidate makes me want to vote for him.

Kerry's last chance to impress is the debates and I think Bush will do better than most think. Bush is not Kerry's intellectual equal but he does have a better sense of humor and is easier for most to relate to I think. Bush is going to score points with the "flip/flop" thing. I bet he uses it at least three times in the first debate.

The key states are toss-ups. Thus so is the election.
