Al Giordano is the type of blogger who has me nodding my head through his every post.

Let me be clear, I am surrounded by Hillary supporters who seem to delight in every Obama “misstep”. It doesn’t matter what I say, they are constantly telling me what Obama should do. So when I stumbled across this article I had to post. Al Giordano has taken my points, added some more, and placed them into a well-written post. Basically, he’s done the work for me!

So rather than cut and paste the entire thing, I’ll leave you with this teaser and ask you to read on…

Chicken Little-ism has found its latest evolution in the chorus of wanna-be presidential campaign managers that tell us that they know best what their favored candidate ought to be doing to win the 2008 election.
I hereby bestow a new moniker on the advanced Chicken Littles of that particular tendency: The Armchairmen.
Typically, the advice goes like this: “Obama should hit back,” or “Obama should hit back harder!”

Cassandra posted a wonderful live blog of the debate last night between the three Democrats vying to replace Mike Castle in Congress.   Indeed, debate host Alan Loudell did use some of our questions that the DL community offered in the debate and attributed us as the source of those questions.

One of my questions was whether they would support drilling or exploring for oil off the Delaware coast as part of a comprenhensive plan to solve the energy crisis.

Now, let me reveal my bias.   I am against drilling off our coast.  To me, it is just another boondoggle giveaway to Big Oil, and they have received enough of our hard earned money over the last eight years.   Further, oil companies already possess leases to explore and drill for oil over millions of acres across the United States.  Yet they aren’t using them, but they want to drill off the coast.  

If drilling is the answer, and the only answer, as the GOP says, then why aren’t the oil companies drilling on the land they already have?
