You had to figure they would do this. In the World According to Rove, everything is done for political reasons. Gas prices will continue to fall until election day. Our strategists, I hope, expected this, and are prepared to deal with it. I'd like to see them call Rove and Co. on it: call bullshit on all the excuses the Rovians routinely run out--"refinery maintenance," "seasonal switchovers," geopolitical instability"--and just accuse them of manipulating the price for political reasons. Which is, after all, the truth.
