I have said it before and will say it now. Senator Hutchinson gets it on energy policy. The article above outlines very clearly what we should be doing to become energy independent, and refutes the arguements against it. Based on what I have read, she also gets it on foreign policy, economics, and most social issues. I think she would be a very good choice for McCain as a Vice President. There are two real negatives for her in this position, one she, like McCain is a Southwestern Senator, giving the ticket no executive experience or geographical diversity, and two she is 64, giving the ticket no youth. Still, I think McCain should give her serious consideration as a running mate. Whether he does or not, all conservatives and all liberals who care about energy independence should support the bill she outlines in this article. This needs to be done before the election, not haggled over by a new congress.
