The gas-price election
It is not going to be pretty and it will not win friends in the formerly McCain-loving media, but John McCain is increasingly looking like someone who has a belief that he has a real shot at this and he had better not mess it up.
The drilling-U turn is abrupt and open to all manner of attack but it seems to suggest he grasps what may well turn out to be a fact, that this election will be won or lost not on Iraq or healthcare but on the price of a gallon of gas.
He is still opposed to drilling in Alaska (for how much longer?) and still a believer in man-made global warming and the need for action to combat it... but could this too be watered down by November?
