“If anyone knows about not delivering immediate price relief at the pumps, it’s Barack Obama,” said Maine Republican Party Chairman Mark Ellis. “Senator Obama has said no to a summer gas tax holiday, no to off shore drilling, no to building new nuclear plants and no to encouraging the development of an affordable electric car. The bottom line is that while Mainers struggle to put gas in their vehicles and heat their homes this winter, Barack Obama is refusing to support reasonable plans that would lower fuel costs. Meanwhile, Obama tries to run from his vote in support of the 2005 energy bill – which John McCain opposed – and the fact that Obama has received more contributions from oil company executives than John McCain. Regardless, it’s clear Obama doesn’t have the necessary experience to lead America to energy independence and John McCain does.
