But I want to add: Whoever is most likely to replace Bush will not
reduce gasoline prices as much as Americans could by reducing demand in
ways regardless of who gets elected to office!

Second to that, get off your gluteus maximus muscles and vote - both in
the November elections and the primary ones! Mostly for reasons other
than gasoline prices and *especially* in primary elections (vote for
whoever has less in terms of favors to owe) I would add!
