I hate to be so cynical but I actually hope this does not pass yet due to the democrats. I’d like the new republican congress in 2009 to pass it, after beating the democrats like a drum with the issue from now until November.

It is summer vacation time. Most of these hacks would rather squeeze a few weeks of downtime, before heading into the fall election cycle.
So to me, both parties are testing some trial baloons. The dems have ample time to change position on energy, enough for the campaigns.
The Republicans need to be careful about timing. I am not convinced they have the unity or organization, to beat the drum from now until election time.
Do you know the name of the Chairman of the GOP? Are you impressed by Pres. Bush’s party leadership?
If they “get it together” it will be great, but I am not optomistic.
This issue could certainly turn the election in favor of the GOP. John McCain should be going to petroleum university, every spare hour.
If I was McCain’s manager, I would very secretly educate him on energy, on oil, on nuclear, etc. Get him so much smarter than Obama that he could shine in debates.
Apparently McCain spends many weekends off the campaign trail, in Sedona. Hold energy university there, in the cradle of solar energy.
