Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has indicated her support for drilling in Anwar. She should force the issue by making a very public invitation to John McCain to tour Anwar with her.
The accompanying publicity would allow the American electorate to see what a barren and desolate area the proposed drilling site is. The fallacy of McCain's Grand Canyon/Anwar analogy would be obvious, and McCain would have a sound, factual basis for reversing his previous opposition to drilling.
And while we're on the subject of oil drilling, can anybody explain to me why the President didn't unlaterally repeal the executive order barring off shore drilling? He could have placed the Repblicans in position to claim that the only thing standing in the way of offshore drilling is the dems in Congress! **Sigh!**
