Can’t we do both at the same time, build more refinaries, drill for oil? If we can win world wars in 4 years, we can meet our energy needs in less time.
Good point. I think that McCain is probably ahead right now by a point or two if likely voters are factored in. But with the conventiona and debates coming up the polls may swing quite a bit more.
I think the energy issue will insure that the republicans only, lose 5 or 6 seats maybe pick up a seat in La. So if the worst happens and obama wins, they should still have 40 plus senators to mantain a filibuster. And they should clearly follow the schumer, reid model and stop all of obama’s measures in their tracks. But I think the energy issue will insure McCaine wins. Then we’ll need 40 plus conservative senators to kill his nonsense.
I would think that Obama’s poll numbers are a bit inflated by polls that over-sample liberals. And as the oil and energy issues heat up, I think McCAin will build a sizeable lead coming out of the gop convention.
