‘Republicrat’ Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger opposes lifting a ban on coastal drilling

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Wednesday he opposes lifting a ban on new oil drilling in coastal waters, breaking with President Bush and Republican presidential candidate John McCain.
There’s a shocker.
“We are in this situation because of our dependence on traditional petroleum-based oil,” Schwarzenegger said in a statement that referred only to Bush’s call for the ban and did not mention McCain. “The direction our nation needs to go in, and where California is already headed, is toward greater innovation in new technologies and new fuel choices for consumers.”
Riiight. And how’s that working out for you? Are you folks paying .89 cents a gallon over there?
