New Poll

Time for a new poll, but first the results of the current poll.

The question: why does Saudi continue to increase the amount of their oil production despite reports that supply is already exceeding demand?
  • OPEC wants to show it is still in control: 36%
  • OPEC needs the revenue: 27%
  • OPEC wants to hammer North American production: 24%
  • Saudis anticipate disruption due to war: 5%
  • OPEC wants stable/lower oil prices: 3%
  • Other: 3%
  • Japan's imports warrant increased production: less than 1%

**********************

Benghazi, no.
Massive telephone tapping, probably not.
Civil rights violations -- the IRS, internal revenue scandal, possibly.

What will occur first?
  • A decision on the Keystone XL.
  • Serious discussion on impeachment proceedings in the House of Representatives.
Remember, as it stands now, the administration is on record suggesting a decision on the Keystone XL will not occur until after 2014, so plenty of time for things to develop.
