I totally agree about the alternatives.  It has to be a multi-prong attack.  We have to open up resources, we have to start using alternatives, and we have to reduce our consumption, one way or another.  I think all of the candidates are for all of those things.  I did not and don't see a difference in either side there-Obama is saying the same thing as McCain when it comes to energy.  I chimed in because I did not see the need to bring Palin's religious beliefs into the discussion about energy.  Go back and read Don's comments about Palin.  Obama himself has been the one to say, let's stay with the issues and keep one's religious beliefs out of it..if he can do it, why can't his devotees on this list?
