CROSSPOSTED AT STRATEGY08.
Considering that the McCain camp trotted out a bunch of (old) quotes of Democrats complimenting McCain, here is a nice quote the Obama Camp could use in an ad:
"I am pleased to see Senator Obama acknowledge the huge potential Alaska’s natural gas reserves represent in terms of clean energy and sound jobs," Palin says in the release. "The steps taken by the Alaska State Legislature this past week demonstrate that we are ready, willing and able to supply the energy our nation needs."
Governor Palin also acknowledged the Senator’s proposal to offer $1,000 rebates to those struggling with the high cost of energy.
"We in Alaska feel that crunch and are taking steps to address it right here at home," Governor Palin said. "This is a tool that must be on the table to buy us time until our long-term energy plans can be put into place. We have already enjoyed the support of Alaska Senator Ted Stevens, and it is gratifying to see Senator Obama get on board."
Here is a link to the full press release, but for some reason the link isn't working. In any case, this is a great quote for Obama to use. Having the vice-president give such fulsome praise to Obama's energy policy is just a no-brainer as far as getting an ad out using this. What's good for the goose...
