An increase in supply would reduce the price of oil globally. It would reduce the amount of oil the US imports and provide jobs for Americans. The leases would also provide added revenue for the government. Drill baby drill.

This 3% and 25% comparison is for people who challenged mentally.

Actually it's the media smear campaing against Sara that has led to her popularity. "Coming off her acceptance speech, GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin is looking good in the latest Rasmussen Reports poll. She's looked upon "favorably" by 58 percent of Americans; 37% see her "unfavorably." Those favorable ratings are a point higher than either Barack Obama or John McCain, who are both at 57 percent."

It's easy to get a high favorable based on one well-delivered speech and when no one knows anything else about you. Six weeks from now, she won't be anywhere near 58 percent. |
