Senator John McCain’s campaign held a conference call this morning. During this call they focused on the energy policies of both McCain and Barack Obama. As the prices of gas continue upward, energy will be a big issue during the campaign.McCain recently switched his position on offshore drilling and is being joined in that switch by thousands of voters. A wave is sweeping through voters as the high price of gas is trumping environment issues. Not surprisingly the McCain camp jumped on this issue with Senator Jon Kyl (AZ) leading the charge.

“And contrasted with Senator McCain’s balanced approach to more production and less use, you have ‘Dr. No,’ or as we in the Senate here are referring to it as the mantra of “No We Can’t’ as a play on Senator Obama’s phrase ‘Yes, We Can.’ No we can’t drill offshore. No we can’t go to the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Of course he said he’s not a proponent of nuclear so no we can’t do that. And he’s even said, no we shouldn’t do the reward for the technology improvement for a battery that would allow people to use those kinds of vehicles. So, it’s a very negative approach which basically says there are no answers to the hurt that Americans are suffering right now and it’s up to leaders to come up with answers and that’s what John McCain has done,” said Kyl.

Look for this type of message to pounded into the minds of voters from now until November.
