The short sightedness of the no-drilling Democrats

The Sarasota Herald-Tribune in their editorial, "Polls and energy policy" just don't get it. The basis of their argument is false.

Today, at a news conference, Bush repeated his new position, and slammed the Democratic Congress for not removing the congressional moratorium on the Outer Continental Shelf and elsewhere. Crude-oil futures for August delivery plunged $9.26, or 6.3 percent, almost immediately as Bush was speaking, bringing the barrel price down to $136. Now isn’t this interesting? Democrats keep...
