Palin and the Economy

The No. 1 economic issue this election is gasoline prices at the pump. The 
tax-hike effect of surging oil on global markets that has translated to a 
huge spike at your local gas station has drained the economy of its 
vitality. It has damaged consumer purchasing power, made it tougher to pay 
mortgages on time, worsened the credit crunch, raised the inflation rate, 
undermined corporate profits, and thrown stocks into the first bear market 
in five years.

Of course, with all the political hoopla from the Denver Democrats, it's 
easy to forget the populist revolt against high gas prices at the pump. 
Sen. Barack Obama never mentioned skyrocketing pump prices or their 
devastating economic impact on ordinary working-class folks. But this is 
the energy election. It will determine our future peace and prosperity.
