To sum up anything he says will be attacked no matter what it is. I would be willing to bet that if we could convince the campaigns to switch their energy policies before releasing them then the same people would attack Obama's anyway. Otherwise they would be critical of both candidates and they would each be getting both some analysis on here. Instead most people have made up their minds and are reinforcing it now. Don't get me wrong I would say that I could find a way to be critical of most things both candidates say. It's just amazing how many threads are negative against one of the candidates and so much fewer on the other with virtually no praise at all for either. I actually like both candidates in relation to the ones in the last few elections and I wouldn't want to see the same against McCain either really if he was taking all the heat from partisans.
