DRILLING PING
Even a pedophilic author gets it.
So if they find oil, what are they going to do?
I don’t think that would include Webb or Gov. Kaine.
Why not wait and see?
One nice thing about Virginia is that for the most part our Democrats are a lot more moderate than your typical Vermont or San Francisco commie socialist.
Webb would never be Obama’s VP. Webb is too good for Obama and they both know it. It would be like McCain having Fred Thompson for his VP.
They’ll probably pump it back down since they say they are only looking for gas.
Obama will make or break this Republic. Gas prices will be the tipping point to save us (just like Elian saved us in 2000 by tipping Fla to Dubya). We get a few more years.
I wouldn’t know.
Well Dumbo Jr, those two products many times come as a package deal.
While your point hits the target, liberals and dems simply refer to such creative endeavors as “art”.
But how could a normal person have known that?
“Glen Besa, director of the Virginia chapter of the Sierra Club, which has 17,000 members in the commonwealth.”
A fine example of how 17,000 people control the public policy of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
I’ve been checking CSPAN intermittently these past few days.
The dems have mounted a full-court press to fight drilling but it’s not going to last.
You are sorta right, but Ann Coulter is the Authority on this subject. You are speaking in a weak moment of compassion.
As she so prominently states:
” If Democrats had ANY Brains, they would be Republicans!”
Therefore it is proven conclusively that WEBB is Brainless by definition!
Mark Warner’s energy page:

Here is a summary of what he proposes:
Short-Term Solutions:
• Crackdown on oil speculators who are manipulating the market
• Apply pressure to OPEC nations to produce more, while empowering the Justice Department to crackdown on price gouging.
• Promote telecommuting and optional, flexible work schedules
Intermediate Solutions:
• Expanding a tax credit for hybrid and battery technology vehicles
• Dramatically increase our research and development, to encourage innovative new technologies and alternative sources
• Off-shore exploration in search of natural gas
Long-Term Solutions:
• Working with auto makers to raise fuel efficiency standards
• Upgrade and expand domestic refining capacity
• Implement cap-and-trade proposals to responsibly limit carbon emissions
“There’s national international concerns here, too,” Durbin said.
This one's no surprise, eh?
The Obama campaign would not directly address Webb’s proposal, but instead pointed to a statement Obama released Wednesday on offshore drilling.
“Opening our coastlines to offshore drilling would take at least a decade to produce any oil at all, and the effect on gasoline prices would be negligible at best since America only has 3 percent of the world’s oil,” Obama said in a statement that did not explicitly distinguish between oil and gas drilling.
With that attitude why bother getting out of bed.
