The article plainly states that McCain's attacks over Gas Prices are hurting Obama. Instead of sticking to his enviro base, Obama is now chasing votes???
Have a look at the soundbyte from Obama -
"If, in order to get that passed, we have to compromise in terms of a careful, well thought-out drilling strategy that was carefully circumscribed to avoid significant environmental damage -- I don't want to be so rigid that we can't get something done."
And have a look at the soundbyte from McCain -

And have a look at the soundbyte from McCain -
Asked about Obama's comment, McCain said, "We need oil drilling and
we need it now offshore. He has consistently opposed it. He has opposed
nuclear power. He has opposed reprocessing. He has opposed storage."
The GOP candidate said Obama doesn't have a plan equal to the nation's
energy challenges.
Obama is feeling the heat - no?
The 'Clinton' loans were done long before this mess & would have had a significant impact long ago...
