I think McCain is doing the right thing in calling for an end to the federal ban on offshore drilling. We need to do that before we go to ANWR.
Quote:
Myrick and others pointed to a new Rasmussen Reports survey — conducted before McCain announced his proposal on Monday — which found that 67 percent of voters believed drilling should be allowed off the coasts of California, Florida and other states. Only 18 percent disagreed and 15 percent were undecided. According to the poll, conservative and moderate voters strongly support offshore drilling, while liberals are more evenly divided: 46 percent of liberals favor drilling; 37 percent oppose it. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0608/11154.html
