If McCain actually wins this thing, there's going to be a major backlash and investigation into the republicans. The numbers already showed some suspicious things in 2004, but the race was closer then. If the GOP pull a win here.... woah!

There is absolutely no connection to the fact gas prices are plummeting right before a Republican needs a big win. please keep your tinfoil hats on and look the other way.

Nope, it is about supply and demand. Oil prices rose on demand. They are plummeting because people have lost lots of money in the global economic crisis and cutting back on their trips, holidays, getting more fuel efficient cars etc and so oil has had to drop.
Additionally, oil prices rose exceptionally high because of speculative investment. People were buying up oil to sell at a higher price and it's a self fulfilling proficy. Once they start to hit a peak and people start to sell, the speculators quickly sell up all their stock and the price comes tumbling down again. In reality, the price should have settled at about $100/barrel but it coincided with the banking troubles and financial recession and so just kept on going.
The notion it was something to do with a conspiracy theory or Republicans trying to win an election is hillarious.

Seems like according to this that perhaps the last game McCain played would be Pac Man, which is still newer than the last game Obama has said he played with Pong. >_>
Either that or it's just the last game McCain heard of. <_<

What does GOP stand for?
Grand Old Party.
Which is odd, consdidering that the Republican Party is newer than the Democrat Party.
Its implying that most of the people in that party are old and out of touch :D

Here are we -- and yonder yawns the universe.

Shouldn't Obama be asking where the ball and paddles are?
Well, I believe they're using videogames as a metaphor for underachi... I mean, as a metaphor for being in touch with what's going on.
I see wat you did there...
Also, I think most politicians are 'out of touch' with what's going on.
Yeah, and asking where the quarters go! McCain's comment should have been more along the lines of "Where are the flippers at? TILT!"

The guy who does that comic used to be a staff member on this website....
Oh wow.
An old white Republican and a self righteous hipster democrat. Yep this election is TOTALLY different.
