Who is Gregen?

Either way for Hillary's staff to go over the top to help out at the convention by squashing any anti-Obama noise, I have a strange feeling the veep will be Hillary.

It will clear out once Obama picks a VP. Which now I am starting to think Hillary.

Biden can be very aggressive as well. Good attack dog for Obama.

I was wondering why it was freezing up outside.

Not one person has mentioned Tancredo, other than in a nutshell it would be an interesting choice. I happen to like Biden and Richardson as VP choice.

I have heard through the grapevine that Al Gore's name is on the same level as Biden, Kaine, etc.

And then McCain said "Phones Here. Phones Now"

Looks like a bad photoshop job.

Quit acting as though you and your opinions are the be all, end all here. BOTH paint themselves as governmental reformers in many ways. McCain may not say that he's a Washington outsider - but he always acts and states that he's some sort of maverick - he's not. I do see your point, however for once expand it and blast McCain once and while. The way he's labeled himself just in this campaign (and flipped) to many is just as bad.

100% agree with you.

Dude I understand. To me someone saying "Change to Believe In" - stating that they are going to change DC. Is just as strong as a statement as McCain's "Straight-Talk Express" - which states that he is this maverick politician and what he says is straight-talk. No double speak. Now compare actions - THEY BOTH HAVE FLIP FLOPPED, CHANGED OR ALTERED THEIR OPINIONS. Please tell me now McCain's is different because his flip flops don't mean as much as Obama's flip flops. Give me a break. Personally, I believe they are allowed to do that. I would like to see that. It's better to have someone review the facts and then be able to adjust if need be. Not be pig headed and stay one way for fear of being called a flip-flopper.

They both have flipped, changed or altered some of their original stances. Expected. One states change. The other the Straight Talk Express.

Yeah, McCain did a very good job. He seemed to answered honestly. Although, not because I support Obama but I believe he full of serious BS when he brought up his first marriage.

Worst thing that McCain could do now is rehash his stance against Roe v Wade.

Hopefully McCain won't claim that he does not change positions.

Awfully tough thing to do. I think he faired well. However, McCain was equally as good.

What about the Straight Talk Express, I mean change my position and want to keep our troops in harms way, do not know anything about the economy, trade with everyone, no fan of the working man/woman?

"I don't switch positions" was that a McCain video?

It's more about whether or not big oil has manipulated the system. Remains to be seen.

Yes, he is soooooo scary.

Oh snap!

Ok, who ever said anything about enforcing it? Jesus take it for what it was a simple statement that clearly pointed to the fact that if people inflated their tires properly - that action could help out with gas consumption. So again, how it wrong to say that? About drilling from Time: But there's a flaw in that logic: even if tomorrow we opened up every square mile of the outer continental shelf to offshore rigs, even if we drilled the entire state of Alaska and pulled new refineries out of thin air, the impact on gas prices would be minimal and delayed at best. A 2004 study by the government's Energy Information Administration (EIA) found that drilling in ANWR would trim the price of gas by 3.5 cents a gallon by 2027. (If oil prices continue to skyrocket, the savings would be greater, but not by much.) Opening up offshore areas to oil exploration — currently all coastal areas save a section of the Gulf of Mexico are off-limits, thanks to a congressional ban enacted in 1982 and supplemented by an executive order from the first President Bush — might cut the price of gas by 3 to 4 cents a gallon at most, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council. And the relief at the pump, such as it is, wouldn't be immediate — it would take several years, at least, for the oil to begin to flow, which is time enough for increased demand from China, India and the rest of the world to outpace those relatively meager savings. "Right now the price of oil is set on the global market," says Kevin Lindemer, executive managing director of the energy markets group for the research firm Global Insight. President Bush's move "would not have an impact." The reason is simple: the U.S. has an estimated 3% of global petroleum reserves but consumes 24% of the world's oil. Offshore territories and public lands like ANWR that don't allow drilling may contain up to 75 billion barrels of oil, according to the EIA. That may sound like a lot, but it's not enough to make a significant difference in a world where global oil demand is expected to rise 30% by 2030, to nearly 120 million barrels a day. At best, greatly expanding domestic drilling might eventually lower the proportion of oil the U.S. imports — currently about 60% of its total supply — but petroleum is a global commodity, and the world market would soak up any additional American production. "This is a drop in the bucket," says Gernot Wagner, an economist with the Environmental Defense Fund. Drill Here. Drill Now.

You forgot about the constant veto threat the President sends out... asking for constant changes in the bills presented. Kind of hard to make change when you have that big hurdle to get over.
