Hey chucko
The market knows that the Dems will win and the oil company stocks are doing very very very well. Do you REALLY think they wont pump oil at $140/bbl?
And Mr. O got where he is for two big reasons - He said he would get us out of Iraq adn that he would fix the health insurance system. Lately he has added making an energy strategy.
The first will save money. The second will cost (but how much is impossible to say until we see what actually comes out since some proposals would replace all or some of the private insurance most now pay for).
The third (an energy policy) isnt actually all that hard. I dont think the repubs and dems are that far apart in actual fact. We need to do all we can to develop all the alternatives to oil we can since even if we max out on pumping it we still have a problem. I think it should be possible to get nearly unanimous agreement on many parts of a sensible energy strategy. Either candidate wouuld do better than Bush since his only strategy seems to be to drill for oil and invade middle eastern oil companies.
