Fracking, and the entire energy boom, is one reason why I thought Newt was instructive during the primary season. He was far far ahead of the rest of the field on how important energy was.
The irony will be if Obama and democrats benefit electorally for a technology they hate.
Having said that, energy is not an issue, it is not even THE issue...ENERGY IS EVERY SINGLE ISSUE.
I do fear that Bambi will get credit for this, being as our messaging is so bad (as conservatives) and the media is going to say it was Bambi's wonderful policies.
On the other hand, it's a great opportunity, Bambi and the dems are actually a lot more stupid than we give them credit for, so anything can happen, yes?
