If the candidates can stop just long enough to stop slinging mud we could maybe get back to the issues on everyones minds. For me the environment ranks at the top as I believe it drives the economy. Case in point look at the effect of higher gas. That being said I found this article very interesting. The most telling stat "Sen.

McCain's rating by the league is zero for last year"

As a builder I cant help but be impacted by the constant deluge of bad news. Crude oil increases impact our business from the materials that we use to the transportation of people to jobs. Declines in housing starts and house values decrease margins and economies of scale. Is there a bright side? Certainly.

Crude oil jumped over $10 a barrel yesterday. The corresponding effect is expected to be $.50cents at the pumps 4 weeks from now. What people aren't noticing is that Natural Gas is increasing along the same lines.
