Of course, I love the idea, and yes, why just summer? But I’m afraid that this is going to go over like a fart in church. The Feds/States/Counties etc. are making a killing financially on the gas tax.

Never happen.

I love this idea and hopes it gains traction.

Sure, I’d like it repealed permanently.

His proposed parameters are the “big driving season.”

Perhaps if the gubmint had to go without these revenues for a while, they’d look more kindly on new drilling and new refineries.

You may be right, though given the awful publicity over high gas prices, the Dems would be hard-pressed to oppose it. Either way, it's a very smart campaign move on his part.

Full disclosure: I'm voting for McCain under extreme duress. Nonetheless, it's one of the most "Republican" things he's said yet.
