You may have missed the McCain-Palin town hall that took place in Grand Rapids on Wednesday. It certainly wasn't talked about on television a whole lot. So here is what the country's leading energy expert had to say about domestic energy production:
Quoted: But when asked how she would help keep any new domestic oil produced in the United States, Palin gave a less-than-well-articulated non-answer:
Quoted: "Oil and coal? Of course, it's a fungible commodity and they don't flag, you know, the molecules, where it's going and where it's not. But in the sense of the Congress today, they know that there are very, very hungry domestic markets that need that oil first," Palin said. "So, I believe that what Congress is going to do, also, is not to allow the export bans to such a degree that it's Americans that get stuck to holding the bag without the energy source that is produced here, pumped here. It's got to flow into our domestic markets first."

Meanwhile, Barack Obama reportedly picked nearly $3 million in donations over the last 24 hours, putting him on pace to raise another $30 million in the month of February.
Not only that but financial analysts say that thus far Obama has received the max donation of $2,300 from just 3% of his voters, and that more than half of his donations have come in sums of $200 or less. More than half of Clinton's donors have contributed their $2,300, and just 14% of her donations have come in sums of $200 or less.
Quoted: Sen. Hillary Clinton dipped into her own finances ahead of this week's Super Tuesday contests, lending her Democratic presidential campaign $5 million in late January, she disclosed Wednesday. In another development, some senior members of Clinton's campaign staff have agreed to go without pay for a month, CNN has confirmed.

Corzine's record in New Jersey or Mayor Bloomberg's attempt to seek a third term in New York than I do about Gregoire and Rossi.
