Really? This is the plan?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'm constantly baffled by the McCain campaign. A couple more weeks like this and I'll be totally convinced that they are TRYING to lose.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, The League of Conservation Voters rates you a ZERO on your energy plans and votes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There are at least to companies in America that manufacture quality tire guages. One of them does promotional items like this one...&lt;/p&gt;

This is a gimmick of course and it's important to consider &amp;nbsp;who it's aimed at! It's not &amp;nbsp;the electorate!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; McCain is poking fun at the news people , many of whom accept Obamas gimmicks at face value! Maybe those Libs can use some fresh air. It's not about the gas price but the hot air &amp;nbsp;the Liberal News Media blows when a simple check should tell them... something aint right! But off they go into Liberal Lunacy Land anyway!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Remember, this is the SAME nation that re-elected an unpopular George Bush only 3 1/2 years ago during an unpopular war. Also remember that John Kerry led Bush 51%-44% in July....and he lost. - And guess what folks. &amp;nbsp;It is now at only 46%-44%....the Obama Fever Gap is wearing off fast. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Translation? - John McCain will win this election.&lt;/p&gt;

Making fun of a realistic idea. Anyone, who knows how cars work will tell you that you save sustantial fuel by having the right &amp;nbsp;tire pressure. Obama said do and they McCain campaign spent umpteen dollars for such an infantile gimmick. Shameful. What bothers me about McCain is that he spends so much time tryiing to mock Obama and put him and his ideas down. What does he offer? Not much so far. Well Clinton mocked Obama all the time and see where we are today. I think this campaign from McCain's perspective is doing things the old and dirty way. More imaginatino please. &lt;/p&gt;
