More of the same, better than something new. After the last eight years, that don't sound like much to this outsider. Guess we'll have to wait for the RNC though. | Not sure where you get the mcsame banner as it relates to energy for McCain. He is hardly walking hand-in-hand with Bush as it relates to energy. Besides for the last two years the blue team has not exactly been a driving forcing in changing the energy policy in the US (with the exception of the 2007 Energy and Independence and Security Act, which ended up getting so watered down that the bills original sponsor actually voted against it – about the only thing the bill did do was raise CAFÉ standards – granted the red team was a big part of the problem, but the blue team lacked the backbone to get it done as well). McCain has his Lexington Project that incorporates multiple ways to attack the energy issue – John McCain 2008 - John McCain for President Expand domestic exploration and production Reform transportation sector Invest in alternative energy (including clean coal, and nuclear) Promote energy efficiency Address speculative oil issues Energy policy must include solid environmental foundation
Most of such a policy would make GWB turn green in the face.
