Coinkydink?

I've heard and read stories regarding the lowering of gas prices leading up to the November 7th elections from both sides of the political spectrum. Some will give me reasons on why this is and yet, it seems quite well timed. But, whatever.

I read a headline today that Saddam Hussein's verdict will be known on November 5th. Again, quite the coincidence, isn't it? Hmmm... I wonder if that'll have any similar effects as the Bin Laden video for the '04 election. I honestly don't see it having as big an impact, but we shall see.
