This morning, Democrats held a press conference on gas prices:

Democratic Sens. Barbara Boxer, Charles Schumer, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and Ken Salazar today joined to call for action to help lower the near- record price of gas. In the last weeks, gas prices have continued to rise to new heights, now topping $3 a gallon nationally. With middle-class Americans struggling to afford the rising cost of American life on wages that are stagnant or falling, the Democrats called on the Republican Congress to put aside its pattern of inaction to help the American people.

The Senate Democratic Policy Committee also released a report today called, "Record High Gas Prices: Had Enough?"

Apparently not. Before the press conference was finished, it was reported that consumer confidence has jumped, as consumers "shrug off gas prices."
