I don't think he's warmed up to Anwar yet but he is talking about oil drilling expansion in the rest of the lower 48.
McCain also used to oppose offshore drilling. They're both moving towards the center, which is good. I don't think one extreme or the other wouldn't have worked.
I'm not sure they had any choice. We are in trouble and we need some relief. It might have been a real hot button issue. They had to start listening to the people.
