Nelson said he would fillibuster any attempt to even consider drilling offshore on any coast. I don't want just any R in there either, and Martinez may still come around. If she can win, she's an ideal choice, but sometimes these early numbers move around some during the campaign, but then end up about where they started on election day.
I own property on both the Atlantic and Gulf coasts and I'm strongly in favor of offshore drilling. The safety and efficiency of offshore rigs has been excellent, and very few are within sight of the coastline, for those with aesthetic concerns....
