Is the light bulb finally starting to flicker for McCain?

No, probably just a couple of crossed wires throwing off a spark or two...the grid will go down shortly.

I sent a message through his Senate site saying that if he supported drilling then I’d start sending money. I can’t have been the only one - I’ve seen lots of comments by the media and in blogs that he could win the election by supporting drilling.

Well, can this be stretched to mean McCain supports ANWR drilling? ANWR is not on the shore, its just inshore as opposed to offshore.

Are you series? It is just a wift of smoke from a snuffed candle.

I certainly hope so, and I pray President Bush will get it done, before McCain would have anything to say about it, except as a Senator.

I had a conversation with a relative yesterday, who owns land in NYS. He had gone to get diesel for his tractor, and was told by the station Oil Co. there that they were signing customers to heating oil contracts for the coming winter, for ........get this.............6.00 a gallon! It is breathtaking to think how many will freeze to death because of prices like that.

Where's the logo with the pigs flying? If McCain will actually start hammering on this theme and force the Senate to vote on it, he could actually win this thing. He could actually earn my vote.

I doubt it. After all, my former congressman was an anti ANWR RINO who also opposed drilling under the great lakes, John McCain was one of his big supporters.

John, John, John.

Doncha know that more drilling will lead to more CO2?

How can you implement Cap and Trade (read: New Taxes) if you won’t CAP?

John’s light is flickering, alright. Out. There is no intellectual consistency by supporting Drilling and the Global Warming cult. They are polar opposites, and John doesn’t get it.

The McCain Campaign must’ve gotten my letter regarding why I wouldn’t give them a dime.

Coulda sworn He said “no drilling” a week ago. Maybe he is catching on. I sent him an old drill bit of mine after one of the talk show guess suggested it. Who knows. Wherever we decide to do it we need to have strict rules, limits, and oversight. But it has got to be done.

A start - of sorts.

Now if he would just take a realistic view of how opening ANWR would IMPROVE the migration patterns of the caribou, and in fact make the migration that much easier (resulting in a larger herd of caribou, therefore more Arctic foxes and timber wolves and black bears), the positive good that would come out of this opening of the Arctic far outweighs the supposed harm of the “anthill on the tennis court”.

I do not believe any of the protestors has a clear idea of what the ecology immediately surrounding the caribou might be, which species may be enhanced, and which may be further threatened by the the presence of more or fewer caribou.

We can only hope so, and it's not one of those eee-vile incandescent bulbs. After all, Congress will want to pass a bill for the proper disposal of mercury-causing florescents...

He’s not quite there yet but he’s getting close.
