Webb Wants No Part of Democrat/ic Energy Debacle
Oh this is precious... too precious:
Sen. Webb has joined with Sen. Warner to cosponsor a bill that would open Virginia's coast to drilling for natural gas. John McCain's allies couldn't be more pleased, using Sen. Webb's support to paint McCain as a moderate and Barack Obama as an out-of-touch liberal:
Actually every one with a brain knows that Hussein is an out of touch liberal, it's the fact their eyes haven't opened just yet to another out of touch limousine liberal. It gets better:
TheGreenMiles :: Webb's Drilling Stance Delights McCain's Allies
Now they are insinuating that Webb is feeling jilted by Obama. I think that is hardly the case. Webb was a Republican remember? He saw his political opportunity and he took it, now you're stuck with him folks...
The Va Dems are stuck with Webb, and we're stuck with McCain..
Now I'll take a bet with you, Webb's reasoning when you get right down to it will be National Security. Remember the Strategic Petroleum Reserve was originally started in WW1 to insure the US Navy would never be short of fuel to defend our nation....
This concept is completely lost upon Warner and Hussein.

The Hill points out Sen. Webb is "picking a curious time to exercise his well-known independence." Considering Sen. Webb hasn't made a Sherman statement against the VP spot, why would he hang Barack Obama out to dry on offshore drilling at this critical moment?

post a commentMcCain with Alaska Gov Sarah Palin as his Veep are the big winners in the energy debate. A commenter on another post says it much better than I can, touting Palin:
"They say McCain reads the blogs, so here goes --
Senator McCain- Don't let the campaign kibbitzers muddle things up.
First and foremost, Sarah Palin shares your values. She killed the bridge to nowhere. Need we say more?
As for the politics, Sarah Palin transcends geography. Her constituency, like yours, goes beyond state lines.
She will get your ticket access to voters all over the country based on who she is and what she stands for. Because she's young, a woman, a mother with young kids, she will grab media attention more than any other potential candidate.
Gov. Palin also has a son in the active duty military. You have very wisely taken your son's service in Iraq off the table as a campaign talking point. That is and should be respected. But others can talk about it and reflect on what it means.
A McCain-Palin administration would be the first in memory which has family members in uniform during wartime from both the President and Vice President. That would be a powerful statement as to the importance of national service, especially in uniform.
Most importantly, any Vice President should be ready to step up and serve in the event she is needed. Frankly, who is really ever ready? Gov. Palin is as ready as anybody, she is a quick learner, and in her public career has exhibited the courage and decisiveness needed for a great leader.
Godspeed to you in your campaign and in making this important decision."
