29 Superdelegates Call Hillary Out

Fri May 09, 2008 at 03:33:54 PM PDT

A Siegel posted an informative diary on Tuesday, but it was lost amidst the North Carolina/Indiana primary results. 28 members of the House have banded together to oppose the Clinton/McCain plan for a gas tax holiday.  A 29th, Rep. Mark Udall (running for Senate in Colorado) has issued his own statement:

Senator Clinton claimed yesterday that I either stand with her on this proposal or stand with the oil companies. To that I say: I stand with the families of Colorado, who aren't looking for bumper sticker fixes that don't fix anything, but for meaningful change that brings real relief and a new direction for our energy policy. We can't afford more Washington-style pandering while families keep getting squeezed.

Since Hillary's still campaigning on this hare-brained scheme, it's worth looking into related energy policy a little.  There's some Clinton-era oil revenue issues worth revisiting.  We might find better sources for revenue from the oil companies there than the "windfall profits" tax Hillary has put forth.
