The answer is easy: voters remove such Congressmen and Senators from office this November and install representatives who will allow environmentally clean drilling off the left coast, the right coast, the gulf coast and the frozen tundra of the north.
Hastings is rock-solid-for-life elected..............

You have something there. This election will turn into a wholesale “Throw the bums out” scenario.
Amen to this. But I'm afraid the morons that are the American people will give the democrats a pass on this. My bet is that republicans don't lose the 70 seats everybody is predicting but I bet we still lose some. This should be a landslide for the republican party. The dems should lose every seat that isn't in the inner city.
Bill Clinton's campaign team had little sticky notes on their computer screens (or so the story goes): "It's the economy stupid". That was enough to propel him to victory over President Bush in what could best be described as a mild recession. Now if the McCain campaign doesn't have posters up saying: "It's oil stupid". Then they deserve to lose.
We are going through the worst financial crisis since the great depression. The fed has thrown billions at financial institutions and they are still in sorry shape. Couple that with a falling dollar and high oil and is it any wonder the stock market is tanking. McCain needs to hammer home a plan. The nuclear and drilling was a start. He needs to be shouting this at every campaign stop.
