...McCain admits, in less exuberant settings, that drilling will not affect gas prices anytime soon, but that's not the point. The issue is an electoral winner for Republicans. Between March and June, around the time when gas settled above $4 per gallon, the American electorate shifted from its long-standing 50-50 split between those who want more energy conservation and those who want more petroleum extraction. A Gallup poll in May found the split at 57%-41% in favor of offshore and wilderness drilling. A mid-June Pew poll found a 12-point swing since February in favor...

...attack. With 1:43 left in the second overtime, UMass gained possession and launched a counterattack in which Parker and sophomore forward Katie Kelly led a two-on-one breakaway. Kelly fed the ball ahead to Parker who slipped a shot past Stone for the game-winner. “The team played a very complete game today,” Caples said. “If we play like this, we’ll end up victorious more often than not.” Although the game was tight throughout, the Crimson never led.
