Pain at the pump might pay dividends for the GOP.  With gas prices hovering around $4 a gallon, obstructing offshore drilling is downright suicidal.  But Democrats would rather side with the Sierra Club than do anything constructive for US consumers.

And judging by Rasmussen’s latest poll, the public is not amused.  McCain took his first lead over Obama with more people trusting McCain on energy policy.  It seems visions of Nancy Pelosi as our planetary savior aren’t so comforting after a fill up empties your wallet.

But don’t shed tears for Nancy.  She’s got a personal energy plan.  While Republicans continue calls for Democratic action, she’s hawking books at the JFK Library.  You have to hand it to Nancy.  She’s always doing the people’s business.
