During the Reagan Administration the Democrats finally agreed to tough, federal crime laws. Prior to that their mantra was poverty caused crime; hence, punishing poverty didn't work.
One thing all the ones that are switching aren’t mentioning is that the North Slope of Alaska has two hundred years of oil and natural gas for us and the Federal Government made them cap the wells off in 1976. The only ones that weren’t capped off were the ones that send oil to Japan. Sulphur was an issue with the federal government and the environmentalists. The Sulphur is less than one pecent and from what I’ve found out that no matter where you get the oil from, Saudi Arabia, Gulf of Mexico, or the North Slope, the Oil Refrineries have to be modified in a manner to take care of the oil. Go to Google.com and google Gull Island near Prudhoe Bay. All the articles are about the same subject.
Mark Warner is a politician. And a relatively astute one at that. He can see which way the hurricane winds are blowing.
I have to laugh whenever I see someone claim that the government needs to crackdown on speculators. The folks who say that don't know that crude oil is traded on many exchanges in many countries. If the USA decides to tamper with the markets, here in America, then crude oil trading will simply move offshore to other exchanges. Then what has been accomplished?
Indeed. See my post today of the Buffalo News editorial.
Well it answers it. Warner is moving to the right on drilling. He will win.
As long as he doesn’t say Macaca he will be alright. Those Virginis are a savey bunch.

I have to take issue with “Does Gilmore Have a Chance in Virginia?” which you inserted in the headline (at least, it wasn’t the Wall Street Journal headline.
Of course he has a chance! Why would you go out of your way on a supposedly conservative forum to play Chicken Little? Just curious.
