Now the real fight begins in the Senate.

This won't be as big a fight as it normally would be because there is an election coming. An election in which the voters will be paying $3.00/gallon for gas to drive to the polls and cast their vote. Would you want to be a candidate that voted NO on ANWR?

No, I'd be the candidate pushing for drilling the entire ANWR area even if gas was a 1.25 gallon. It the RINOS that worry me.

"An election in which the voters will be paying $3.00/gallon for gas to drive to the polls and cast their vote. Would you want to be a candidate that voted NO on ANWR?"

My point exactly.
Plus the Senate actually voted for it last time. In a way I'd really love it for the RATS to commit political hari-kar, in this election year of high gas prices, by filibustering the ANWR bill, like they did once before. That will just make our task in November much, much easier.
No one can self-destruct like the RATS.
