Gas prices and offshore drilling

Not much is at stake on Election Day 2008. Just the long-term health of the global economy and the future of the planet. That's what the offshore drilling debate is all about.

    Good article

    Andrew Leonard: Good article. Thanks for framing it in understandable terms for me.

    Unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of American voters will never make it very far into the subtleties of this situation, so they'll probably fall for the GOP story that McCain wants to bring down the price at the pump, while Obama doesn't care that it costs us $50.00 to fill up our Honda Accords.
