The Drudge Report is cheekily labeling an article about the outrageous gas prices and gas shortage in Southern California the "October Surprise." While it's unlikely even $4-$5 (and up) a gallon gas prices will turn Californians into Romney fans, CNBC is reporting that gas prices are likely to keep rising in October:

Democrat William Jennings "Bill" Jefferson. He served "9-terms" from 1991 to 2009. The LA-2nd-Dist includes much of the greater New Orleans area.

the longest sentence ever handed down to a US Congressman for bribery or any other crime !
