I hope so, because we will certainly have a leg up on Bush and the Repugs in this arena....

1. Yep
It justifies the war--Bush becomes the "Energy President" guy who protected our energy interests with an unpopular war. After yesterday, a good number of folks will feel more threatened by loss of cheap and available power.

Now Bushco will be able to steal a couple hundred billion dollars more for themselves.

3. Yes, It Does, & They're Blaming CLINTON
Edited on Fri Aug-15-03 08:48 AM by UTUSN
Anything that they can manufacture the slightest connection to CLINTON is automatically a huge issue. Why has Bill RICHARDSON been on all the airways about this? It was strange yesterday, when the news was breaking in other parts of the country, for the governor of New Mexico to be all over the airways.

And today came the clincher. The CNN dweeb in the morning was rehearsing RICHARDSON about what was wrong with the grids and the infrastructure, then sprung the trap: "Well, Governor, why didn't this get taken care of while YOU were there?" "You" = "you CLINTON guys".

The true answer SHOULD be: Because the radical wingnuts gridlocked all issues for the sake of overthrowing the elected government. But, no, us polite Dems can't say THAT, that would be FINGER-POINTING, now wouldn't it.

P.S., Fare Unbalanced.

4. Cheney Inc won't wait that long
It's the 'new product' that will be promoted right after Labor Day.

5. as well it should be
this should be towards the top of all the discussion lists considering it was never really addressed after the California blackouts. It needs to be dealt with in a real, effective manner.

6. It will help Bush win.
Electronic voting goes off. "Oh well", Bush will say, "We will pretend I won, Never liked democracy anyway."

7. When I turned on the TV this morning
I heard talk about oil drilling. They'll probably try to push through drilling in ANWR within days of this.
