And the second half of your post is worth repeating too. :-)

Nobody wants to go down as a loser president. But energy production will be crucial to the next pres. McCain will drill if his legacy depends on it, "green" ideals be damned. If he tries to "walk the walk" of green economics, his proposals will get shot down like HillaryCare. The business community will only put up with so much "green" economics. It is fine as a superficial marketing tool, but no one takes green economics that seriously.

After watching how things have played out in this campaign, it seems only one thing is certain: nothing will go as expected. Remember how Hillary was inevitable as the dem nominee and absolutely nobody but Rudy could eek out a win against her? That seems like a long time ago. Who knows how it will all play out.

I only wish folks on FR could put campaign rancor behind them, bury the hatchet, and raise the level of comments on the board. It seems our collective IQ has dropped 20 points over the last few months.
