The Democrats' stubborn opposition to cheap energy supplies is going to end up hurting them as Americans see them to be captive of affluent environmental extremists. Energy drives all other costs and the Democrats have an opportunity to get on the right side of the American people by embracing drilling at home, clean coal and nuclear power. But they doing exactly the opposite - which could come to blow up in their face in November.

I think the Democrats are in a quandry. The Environmentalists make up a huge % of their base and campaign donations so they cannot afford to piss them off.

It's almost like President Bush becoming pro-choice.

I think that stubborn opposition will end at an appropriate moment before the election. They will get elected thereby and then it won’t matter what happened with drilling when the Oilcos are nationalized and Rationing goes into effect.
