"A vote for [Barack] Obama is the political equivalent of bungee jumping."-- Minnesota Governor and potential McCain running mate Tim Pawlenty
Pawlenty: Obama Vote 'Bungee Jumping'

Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty on Saturday said he doubts that Barack Obama would support offshore oil drilling as part of a compromise on a comprehensive energy policy.
Pawlenty, named as possible running mate to presumptive Republican nominee John McCain, was responding to Obama's statement on Friday that he would support offshore drilling if it were the key to an energy policy compromise.
"He's put so many contingencies around it that I wonder, in fact I question, whether he would do it at all," Pawlenty said after he helped open Republican campaign office in Ames. "It may be a way for him to gain favor during the election, and tube it later because all the contingencies weren't met."
Pawlenty nailed it. Lord Barack Obama the divine has flip-flopped, I mean "refined his position" on domestic drilling. Of course you can't trust anything his Obamaness says today won't be "refined" tomorrow but, hey, it's a start.
