Where ever Republicans unite, Senator Graham will be there with Democrat friends. If there is one thing for sure, we can count on Lindsey Graham to derail any Republican movement. This proposal is nothing more than an agreement with Democratic anti-drilling plans.

Sliding poll numbers, the energy debate, getting defined and now a truly East West showdown has erupted between Russian and Georgia. Already many Americans doubt Obama’s foreign policy experience and a overwhelming amount think McCain would be a better Commander in Chief. So it can’t help matters or help Obama’s presidential image when he is on vacation in Hawaii. This could be a risky move that may tilt the race to McCain for the first time.
