McCain has staked out a green position that opposes drilling in ANWR, another reason... Sign in to see full entry.
Obama Opens A Healthy Lead Over the GOP
Newsweek poll shows Obama with a whopping fifteen point national lead over McCain. I tend to feel that trend happenng, although the Realclearpolitics, and the CNN Poll of polls, has Obama up an average of six. I talked to my Arizona sister (also a teacher, and my mentor).
