Sarah Palin gave McCain a boost with her strong performance against Biden. But McCain can seal this deal all the way around with one simple move. All he needs to do is hold a press conference and say" I've spoken at length with Governor Palin and we went to Alaska together to visit ANWR. I spoke to local experts who have assured me of the minimal environmental impact of drilling , and I have come to the conclusion that we should in fact open ANWR to domestic oil and gas exploration and as President I will make it happen". , This has the effect of showing Conservatives that Sarah has impact, that her Conservative values will be partly guiding policy decisions giving another jolt of energy to the Republican base, and will make McCain a genuine champion of fuel independence. And it's a safe move for him. He can state the fuel independence is not a partisan issue, it benefits all Americans in all walks of life, and will strengthen the economy with new jobs. It's all a win. And it's so SIMPLE! If someone would just get hold of his ear and make him listen!
