McSame Gets Gas Behind Him


Think Progress points out that Sen. John McSame's campaign is fueled by oil and gas interests to the tune of 74 percent since he announced for President. He's now in support of expanded off-shore drilling - - which will delight the voters in Florida and other coastal states - - just like Preznit Oilpatch. Unfortunately, it's unlikely to provide any meaningful increase to oil supplies, but it will drive up costs at the pump because the oil companies will have to recover exploration and drilling costs before any oil is produced. It's nothing but a big wet kiss to the oil and gas companies in exchange for their financial support.
