Ironically, though, a falling world oil price negates the goal stated by Barack Obama and John McCain to cut America's dependence on foreign oil, especially from the volatile Middle East. That's because although it only accounts for about one-fifth of U.S. imports, oil from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other Middle Eastern countries is much cheaper to produce than the more politically popular alternative of oil drilled in Canada or the United States...

For his part, Shapiro prefers "the carrot to the stick," pointing out that energy efficiency has been increasing, even...
...compelled to convene a meeting of the party's state leadership in Tallahassee earlier this month to regroup. Sources say it yielded few solutions. A big GOP headache is Florida's ultra-fluid demographics. The state has one of the nation's largest hoards of independent voters, almost one-fifth of the electorate, EMS, and the centrist trend is creeping into once solid GOP bastions like Sarasota. Crossover Republicans like Geyer are news; but Sarasota Democrats can be just as averse to straight-ticket life.
