Welcome to You’re the Pundit. Here is where we start a conversation. It’s your turn. Share your ideas, ask questions and answer them.

Every week we post a question ripped from the news pages. Hit us with your best shot—of opinion—or react to someone else’s views. Either way, help us think through the issues of the day.

Let’s keep it civil—and have some fun.

This week’s question: With gas prices topping $4 a gallon, will it affect your vote for president this fall? Will Barack Obama or John McCain do more to help ease your pain at the pump?

The price of gasoline will definately have an effect on whom I choose for president, governor etc. I would not even think of voting for a Democrat and was hoping to have a more conservative Republican in the White House. I feel that if the Democrats refuse to compromise that they will eventually pay in future elections. They are destroying our country. I can no longer afford to pay my bills due to the cost of gasoline. My job requires me to be in the field the majority of the day. In addition, Governor Crist advised he would never allow drilling off the Florida Coast. I have more or less supported Governor Crist ,but when he is up for re election I will not vote for him.
