This is a short diary, because, well, what can you say?
Jonathan Martin at Politico reports that John McCain will get his oil drilling photo-op at an oil derrick in Bakersfield, CA.
Of course, this will nicely highlight that Governor Schwarzenegger smacked McCain down on off-shore drilling and said it will never happen in his state:
From his podium at the conference, Schwarzenegger said, "Politicians have been throwing around all kinds of ideas in response to the skyrocketing energy prices, from the rethinking of nuclear power to pushing biofuels and more renewables and ending the ban on offshore drilling," Schwarzenegger said. "But anyone who tells you this would bring down gas prices any time soon is blowing smoke."
and
"California's coastline is an international treasure," Schwarzenegger said in a statement today. "I do not support lifting this moratorium on new drilling off our coast."
This raises the question - does this guy want to lose?
It's no surprise, as detailed by slinkerwink, that GOP strategists are crying in their drinks, in between the times they're slamming their heads on the wall.
Anyway, what else can I add? What other stupid things can McCain do to lose this thing? Honestly, I can't think of anything, but maybe you all can.
So put on your dunce caps and get thinkin!
UPDATE: Yeah, this pretty much captures what I am thinkin.
