A few weeks ago, my family and I were in Orlando for my son's championship baseball, and like most families we visited the theme parks. At one park, a magician was doing card tricks and it was a lot of fun to watch. Of course the hand was quicker than the eye, and I kept saying "how does he do that?"

The answer is very simple, "It’s like Magic!"

Almost two months before the mid-term elections and oil prices are beginning to bend. Crude oil "magically" sold off today after a report showed an unexpected rise in supplies of gasoline. In addition, Iran has made a counteroffer to resolve the problems associated with its nuclear program.

More than likely, we will see more "magic" when it comes to the price of oil as we edge closer to Election Day in November. On August 17, 2006, I posted an article entitled "Can Saudi's Save The November Elections Again?", and included an article written by Bob Woodward

See, I believe given the stakes in the high profit game of oil that anything is possible.
