Why won't she support drilling for oil in federal waters off the Florida coast?

She joins the rest of the hard-headed Florida delegation in postponing the inevitable.

It's one of just a couple things I disagree with KH on. No candidate in Florida can get elected openly advocating for offshore drilling. It's unfortunate, but the ignorant will prevail in this state regarding that issue. She also supports federal funding of the arts. Once again, she and I disagree. However, Sarasota is the arts capital of the state. It's a position she needs to support to win independents in a district that is becoming less and less conservative.

Her ACU rating is 92. With KH, I get most of what I want. With Nelson, I get nada. I can't speak to her primary opponents except to say their chance of winning are even more challenging than hers.

What about your Texas Congresscritters, sinkspur? What's their position on off-shore drilling?
