But it would have an impact however My point is that neather party really cares about that impact unless it will help them politicly High Oil prices help the Dems so they have no plans to do ANYTHING about them till after the election. Reps do not really care eather but since they can make the Dems look bad they will push the offshore drilling knowing that Dems can't support it due to not wanting to have Nader come in a split there vote again. Now after the election i bet that there will be a show of bi-partinson ship that will open it up. (Makes me SICK!)
