"Kerry Says He Favors Drilling Off The Coast Of Florida."

I'm starting to wonder if the guy has a few loose screws or something. Most people in Alaska (something like 80 or 90%) support drilling in ANWAR, and Kerry opposes that. But Alaska has only 3 electoral votes so you can oppose it and not hurt yourself.

Most people in Florida (something like 70-80%) oppose off-shore drilling for environmental and economic reasons (tourists wouldn't want to sit on a beach and look out at oil platforms) and Florida has what... 30 electorial votes?

Beside being a typical Rat leftie, is there something wrong with Kerry's mind? Did Hillery slip something in his Starbucks? Every time he opens his mouth lately, something really dumb flys out.

I don't think its a case of having loose screws. He cares not an iota one way or the other about the drilling. Its a political ploy. Jeb Bush is against drilling, therefore he is for it thinking he can gain a segment of Florida voters.

The man is a rank opportunist. Like Clinton, he'll pull whatever political maneuvers he has to to win.
