IMO this is largely empty posturing upon McCain's behalf. Some clever child in the RNC has figured out how to posture as being for offshore oil drilling while they'll simultaneously leave the final decision up to the states. They know that coastal states are largely Democrat.

Meanwhile, they'll conveniently forget federalism when it comes to Alaska, North Dakota, or permitting refinery construction.

Nailed it. Bend over, exploratory drilling is only reserved for you and I.
