UPDATE: Hmm, gotcha!
Money quote:
McCain is stuck in a conundrum: express support for the Gang of Ten and incur the wrath of anti-tax crusaders or continue rolling the dice against public opinion and risk being painted as a stooge of the oil lobby. His $1.3 million in oil and gas donations in June only furthers the frame.
The Gang of Ten is the bipartisan compromise that allows restricted offshore drilling but raises oil company taxes. Obama took a little heat for approving it, but McCain's stuck in an untenable position.
Maybe he'll flip flop, er, refine his position.
STOOGE OF THE OIL LOBBY. STOOGE OF THE OIL LOBBY. STOOGE OF THE OIL LOBBY.
