it is now off the table as a campaign issue. it will be 6 months before contracts come up for bid and years before drilling can start. it can be stopped at any point along the way.

it may be pyschology for the public but not for the market. the market knows it is a pittance but the public will go from chanting "drill baby drill" to "consume baby consume" and continue to buy suv's and the higher demand will lead to yet higher prices - just a plausible guess.

Watch how quick it gets stopped if the socialists get total control. Not too many drills will be up and running in a few months, either.

After recent Wall St events, I don't think republicrats or conservatives will be able to use the "socialist" smear again.

The corporate socialists ripping us off would be easier to name, because they actually exist. Bush, Cheney, Trickle down itself, everything bush 1 and 2 ever did was an act toward corporate socialism.

This will be 5 trillion dollars raped from American people's wallets.
