Dark Star

Bill Clintons famous campaign mantra that Carville et al credit with getting him into the White House, can be retooled for McCain. Except McCain has two front's on which to attack. Energy and National Secuirty. National Security he has had. Energy? Not so much. But with his annoucment for suppor of repealing the federal ban on off-shore drilling, he seems to have gotten the message.

And now this. This is a biggie:

For years, McCain has opposed drilling for oil in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR).

But McCain said he'd be willing to reconsider that stance as well.

"I would be more than happy to examine it again," McCain said.

No doubt Obama and company will scream flip-flop. But this cn easily be explained by saying, McCain's earlier opposition to drilling either off-shore or in ANWR was based on an oil price of $30-$60 a barrel, but at $130 a barrel, everything should at the very least be rexamined.

If Obama keeps blundering on National Secuirty, and McCain keeps drilling him on the drilling, we'll have a Republican in the White House. And Dems shouldn't worry too much, they'll controll both houses of congress, and with any Democrat competetior for president out of the way, McCain will be all to happy to reignite his love affair with the media by "crossing the aisle," and giving away the farm in order to win back their love.

But with McCain, at least we'll win the war on terror. Or at least give ourselves a fighting chance.

Truth be told, Obama is a dangerous and stupid man. Lacks historical knowledge, lacks a firm grasp of economics, lacks both personal and political judgment, and can't take a joke about his ears.

And you know what they say about people who can't take a joke.
