I've been paying attention to this bill for a while and I think its going to pass easily.

I dont think gas will immediately drop that much, but I do think it will make at least a $1 a gallon drop within a couple of weeks of the bill passing, then another, smaller drop in crude oil prices after it goes into effect. The real drop will happen in mid to late 2010 when the first rigs go online, even though it will be several years before the oil hits the market in quantity, having that drilling rig up and moving will send a message that the money train from the US is about to get alot slimmer.
