He may both have the Sierra Club endorsement, but he carries their water, nonetheless.

Because this is not the answer.

Their is no singular correct "answer", rather their is a combination of factors which make up the solution.

If he's right, then a hurricane shutting down the Gulf shouldn't make the problem worse.

Oops. Guess he needs to re-think his position.

to open federal waters 100 miles from the coast to oil and gas drilling.

Hmm, since when did they become "federal waters" and when did they extend that far from the coast???

Arnold does NOT have the endorsement of Sierra Club.

The SC endorsed ANGELIDES.

But as you know, environmentalists have a lot of power in CA and Arnold is in the fight of his life.

Some polls show him ahead, but others show him behind Anglides. It is going to be a tight race.

The bottom line still holds: it's going to be either Gov. Schwarzenegger, or GOV. ANGELIDES. Pick one!

As for the polls, here are a couple recent ones:

Zogby Poll shows Angelides 44%, Arnold 42.3%, margin of error 3.5%

Field Poll shows Schwarzenegger leading in governor's race:

The Field Poll found 45 percent of likely voters surveyed favored Schwarzenegger, with 37 percent backing Angelides.

Lear jet liberals don't want the views spoiled from their multimillions dollar mansions on the left coast, but they don't mind filling up their private jets with fuel produced elsewhere. At the same time they admonish ordinary Americans who drive SUV's about their environmental impact.

"For anyone to think that this would bring gas prices down is ... a big mistake. Because this is not the answer"

I'm sick of hearing this about anything that is part of a solution; fence on the border; offshore drilling; port security etc. The logic, or lack of it, is that if something is not a complete solution, in and of itself, to a problem then it has no value because "this is not the answer".

Offshore drilling is clearly part of the answer to our energy needs along with other actions like nuclear power, oil from shale, drilling in ANWAR etc.

If every part of a solution to a problem is discarded, there will never be any solution at all.

Gee, I boo bood,,.. Good for you..

I meant to write

He may both NOT have the Sierra Club endorsement, but he carries their water, nonetheless.

You don't deny he has done more for the green movement than any governor in the state's history?

He'll take anyone's vote, huh? It's not like he will honor it later anyway.

I wonder how long until China sets up rigs out there off California just as Cuba is doing near Florida? We should just tell them it will not solve their energy woes, I guess.

I also notice you rarely if ever speak to the issue, just slam anyone who isn't in lockstep, real impressive campaign style.. It's more than a few.

I wish I could keep track of how many choose not to even vote because of your "technique".

Yeah, but think of the limousine liberals faces as they watch those gorgeous rigs from the verandas of their beach houses in Malibu.

Next time there is an earthquake in California, don't take my tax dollars and send it to those bastards if they won't allow drilling. If we drilled everywhere we have oil, we would be well on our way to being energy indedependant, and would help take $ from the middle east where our petro dollars buy weapons for terrorists to kill us.

So, he's just doing this because the evil environmentalists made him do it?
ROFL! Whatever, FO. Keep on spinning!

It's the old "Bring Me A Rock" gambit. Anything anyone proposes is, for these idiots, "not the answer". Offshore drilling, ANWR, more refineries, nuclear energy, all of these are "not the answer" for the environmental wackos. Trouble is, they never tell you what "the answer" is. Except more government regulation, and "conservation".

This is election year.

All issues have an impact on the election.

CA Chamber of Commerce and Small Business Association endorsed Arnold. They understand the choices.

What good is the oil doing anyone just sitting there?

It may not be the answer , but it could be aprt of the answer, It could be used, What good is it doing now?

Will we just let it sit there forever?

I fear folks like you and the New Majority (M)ilk have so muddied the state of affairs with your rush to the middle, it really dooesn't matter who wins... except for a few issues and behaviour , there isn't much difference in agenda apparent.

OK, awnald maybe it isn't going to bring prices down, but that really isn't the issue is it. We as a nation are trying to become energy independent before we suddenly have to, and CA drys up and blows away. CA has been one of the reasons this nation is in the negative energy position it is in, by being one if not the largest energy consumer in these United States. It is therefor encumbent on the state of fruits and nuts, to be on the forefront of energy exploration, and development. OK! How soon you forget the guv you just got rid of, and the bad policies of that administration.
