McCain Gets It

At last John McCain is getting towards an energy policy I can back. Drill for oil.

Most voters favor the resumption of offshore drilling in the United States and expect it to lower prices at the pump, even as John McCain has announced his support for states that want to explore for oil and gas off their coasts.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey—conducted before McCain announced his intentions on the issue--finds that 67% of voters believe that drilling should be allowed off the coasts of California, Florida and other states. Only 18% disagree and 15% are undecided. Conservative and moderate voters strongly support this approach, while liberals are more evenly divided (46% of liberals favor drilling, 37% oppose).

Maybe McCain finally gets that it is not only a political strategy, and an economic strategy, but also a war fighting strategy:


You know, the more I hear about John McCain the more I like him.
