California 2003. Gray Davis is governor and the DMV increases vehicle registration fees doubling and in some cases tripling car owner’s cost to drive California’s traffic jammed freeways.

August 7.   Arnold Schwarzenegger announces his bid to run for governor on the Late Show with Jay Leno later promising to repeal the vehicle registration fee hike.

October 8.  Schwarzenegger wins the recall election.

There is the strategy in a nutshell.  John McCain could learn something from the Schwarzenegger strategy and implement a similar plan by promising America he will reduce the gas price and do it during the first 100 days in office.  It’s a sure-fire strategy.   I know oil is a traded commodity and the president really does not have any control over the price of a barrel of oil, but the president can write legislation to tap into all of our offshore oil resources and decrease the U.S. dependency on imported oil.

It would be a landslide victory of historical proportions!  Regardless of which political side the voting public is on we’re all feeling the financial hurt gas prices are putting on our wallets.  Heck, I’d even vote for Hilary or Obama if either candidate promised to do the same, but it would feel like I’ve sold my soul to the devil.
