Senator John McCain reversed himself this week by saying he now supports offshore drilling for oil. He also supports the idea we need to conserve more if we are going to get through the current energy crunch. However, he still does not support drilling in ANWR though the technology is there to offset any environmental "footprint" that may be left behind. Of course, Democrats oppose the measure.

Speaking of the environment, former VP Al Gore endorsed Barack Obama last night in of all places, Michigan. Native Michiganders who have been mired in a one-state recession since 2000 must have been thrilled to have their tax-hiking, state-regulating Governor introduce the former VP who preaches saving the environment at the expense of jobs as he jets around the world in his own fuel-guzzling 747, while offering no prospects of how Michigan gets itself out of its economic downturn. It boggles the imagination that folks in Michigan continue to vote for Democrats election after election, who only raise taxes and still have a budget shortfall. Even though McCain blew it in January by saying the jobs lost in Michigan are not coming back, he has a real opportunity to take the Wolverine state from blue to red. Adding Mitt Romney to the ticket would help.
