“This spike didn’t help Republicans because Dems used the ‘crisis’ as a campaign tool.”
I do recall last summer being boom-time for global warming hysteria. But was anyone but the choir really listening?
I also remember “Drill here, drill now!” being popular and tracking good poll numbers. McCain was well positioned to use it against Obama. Then the bailout frenzy hit, and nobody cared anymore.
I still care. See my tagline.
