Iain Murray and Mark Hemingway have been on Dems & Drilling Watch over on the Corner.

Mitch McConnell orchestrated a wonderfully revealing episode: Democrat Ken Salazar (from Colorado, home to the Democratic National Convention) admitting, on C-SPAN, that Democrats would object to drilling even if gas reached $4.50, $5, $7.50, and even $10 a gallon.

Do Democrats realize how damaging this is? Kudos to Mitch McConnell.
