On Balance, Mediocre

The RNC’s swing-state ad on energy policy, “Balance,” is a bit of a disappointment.

McCain’s enumerated priorities? In order: alternative fuels; conservation (yawn); suspending the gas tax (zzzzz . . . ); more production here at home (yay!).

Then there’s this carefully worded line: “He’s pushing his own party on climate change.” [Yes, pushing it where, though?]

Barack Obama? “Just the party line.”
