No. 1 issue

The economy -- and when you talk about the economy, you have to talk about gas prices.

I stopped at the Rutter's at the intersection of Prospect and Haines roads and watched as Diana Nusz filled the tank of her Ford Explorer. She didn't even fill the tank all the way, and it still cost her $60.

"This is the worst I've seen it," said the homemaker from Red Lion. "I never thought they would be this high. It's affecting everybody and everything. I don't see anybody doing anything about it."

She doesn't have hope that any of the presidential candidates can do anything about gas prices.

"Nobody wants to see what's going on," she said. 'I do think they're human, but not being in our shoes, they don't feel it like we do."

She hadn't planned to vote today. She thinks if she'd vote for anybody, she'd go for Obama, though.

P.S. Daily Record/Sunday News reporter Tom Joyce is blogging on today's primary, too. Check it out.
