I Love This Ad
Throughout the election season, I've been a pretty wishy-washy Hillary supporter. For the most part, I just want to beat John McCain, but I've always had a lot of respect for Hillary, and I had some concerns about Obama's health care policy and attitude toward "clean coal" -- both of which are tepid at best.
But I have to admit: I love this ad.
I love what he says, and I love that he said it.
The gas tax is my favorite tax, (I probably like it even more than the estate tax,) and it always bothers me when people start complaining about it. First of all, driving is already hugely subsidized by the construction of "free" roads, and, second, anything that discourages people from driving is alright by me. So it's refreshing to see a politician say something reasonable about energy policy. Will it make me an Obama supporter? Meh. I'm already nine-tenths of the way there. But it certainly gives me another reason to move in that direction.
