KEY BLOCK----- *Main Topics: *energy, drilling, fully-inflated tires* Summary:* GOA shows the Iraqi government could have $79M budget surplus at year's end. Federal officials set to reveal possible motive behind the 2001 anthrax attacks. President Bush expresses hope N Korea will be off the axis of evil soon. Senate Democrats refuse to enter summer recess in order to prevent appointments without their approval while House Republicans refuse to leave because of a drilling bill they'd like to pass. An NRA spy allegedly infiltrated two anti-violence groups. Maryland officials found a Camp David map at the home of a teenager held on firearm charges. MSNBC plays a significant amount of Olympic games. Late in the morning, reports came out that a jury of military officials reached a guilty verdict on the trial of Osama Bin Laden's driver. Paris Hilton's response to John McCain's 'Celeb' ad continues to grab airtime this morning. Energy is once again the central issue in campaign coverage with a strong emphasis on offshore drilling. Speculation over vice presidential picks is a recurrent subject of stories and panels. Highlights: 1. Energy a. MSNBC: Crist talks about the tone and energy platform of McCain's campaign b. FNC: Crist debates Bayh c. CNN: Jeanne Moos: McCain does agree with Obama that tire inflation is a good thing Highlights No YouTube: 1) MSNBC – JOE SCARBOROUGH: 'John McCain had a great story until George [W] Bush became president.' 2) WTTE- FOX-OH: Summary of responses from candidates to Paris Hilton ad followed by, 'Tomorrow McCain will be in Wilmington, OH, tackling DHL's plan to use UPS for air cargo shipping. If that company were to leave, it would cost Ohio 10,000 jobs.' 3) WJBK-FOX-MI: '[…] republican presidential hopeful, John McCain is coming back to Michigan. John McCain is expected to return to the state in less than a week from today for high-priced fundraisers in Birmingham. He was here yesterday for a visit to the Fermi nuclear plant. He called for the construction of 45 new nuclear plants by 2030. He's a supporter of offshore drilling.' Clips: Highlight #1 *Crist Talks about the Tone and Energy Platform of McCain's Campaign *(MSNBC 08/06/08 7:08am) JOE SCARBOROUGH: […] You supported [sic] a candidate that went from being concerned about protecting the environment to running around motorcycle events shouting, 'Drill, drill, drill.' MIKA BRZEZINSKI: It's kind of a change. SCARBOROUGH: It's kind of a change and we're a little confused. Explain. BRZEZINSKI: It's a shift. CHARLIE CRIST: Well, the facts have changed. The reality is Senator McCain has been somebody concerned about the environment for a long time. First guy who really talked to me about climate change. He is a great leader on these issues. He also understands the importance of how this issue, the rising price oil is affecting the American family and certainly families here, in Florida, too, Joe. When it gets to about $4 a gallon it's a crisis and it's a problem and it's rippling through our entire economy. So Senator McCain took a leadership position, said we should stop having the moratorium at the federal level and let states decide individually. I know that Senator Bayh is with us this morning. Good morning to you, sir. As a former governor— EVAN BAYH: Good morning, Charlie. CRIST: I think he ms he would appreciate—it's good to be with you—probably would appreciate the fact that, you know, state's ought to have that independent right. The tenth amendment gives states those kind of rights. I think Senator McCain is right on this again…. […] *SCARBOROUGH: Charlie Crist, let's talk about the tone of the campaign over the past week. Even John McCain's 96-year-old mother is critical of these ads that have been put out showing Paris Hilton and Britney Spears next to Barack Obama. She says it's silly.* Don't you agree? CRIST: Well, you know, what's wrong with a little humor. I think it's important we not get so intense in this political environment that we lose sight of a little of humor injected into a campaign. You talked about it earlier on the show today, this is an expensive business, unfortunately. It takes an awful lot of money to get a message out. Look at the brilliance of what the McCain campaign can has been able to achieve. They make a commercial for about $10 and get millions of dollars of exposure. SCARBOROUGH: Why do they show images of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton? Why is that juxtaposed next to Barack Obama? CRIST: I think the point they are trying to make is Senator Obama is a very charismatic figure. He's a guy that is a celebrity, a true American celebrity and they are comparing him with other celebrities evidently and making that point, but the question is, is he ready to lead? Does he have the judgment? Does he have the experience to really lead our country? SCARBOROUGH: All right, but Britney Spears didn't go to Harvard. Britney Spears wasn't a community organizer. Britney Spears isn't a United States Senator. That's a false analogy, isn't it? CRIST: I don't know if it's a false analogy. I think they are both celebrities. I think that's the only point they are trying to make. I don't think they are trying to match up their resumes together. They are trying to show these people are famous, well-known, are they ready to lead? That's the real question in the presidential campaign. *Governor Crist and Senator Bayh Debate their Candidates Energy Policies on Fox and Friends* (FNC 08/06/08 07:18am) […] GRETCHEN CARLSON: Governor Charlie Crist, you would know something about the energy policy. You are one of the states where this is incredibly important, Florida. You obviously support John McCain's stance on this. CHARLIE CRIST: Senator John McCain, once again, is leading on this issue. It's very important I think to understand that you do need a comprehensive approach. Senator McCain certainly understands that. He talks about the possibility of offshore oil drilling to increase our domestic production of oil so we are not so dependent on foreign oil. When you realize that about 500 to $700 billion a year are being sent to the middle east in order for us to have oil for our vehicles here in America, something has to be done to offset that. Senator McCain understands that, as well as conservation. Using nuclear power. He went to a nuclear plant yesterday in Michigan to make that point. […] CLAYTON MORRIS: Let's go back to Florida and talk more about Florida on this energy issue. *Isn't it really an infrastructure issue? […] Offshore drilling there is little infrastructure to get the oil from the water back to the main land. Now that's unlike what's up there in Anwar where you have the pipelines already in there. Isn't it disingenuous so say there can be quick turn around with offshore drilling?* CRIST: *Well not from what I hear from people in the industry. What they tell me is they can, instead of in 10 years period of time, within about a year and a half. Remember there is an awful lot of pipelines already hooked up off of Louisiana and Texas. Some of those are not that far from the Florida coast.* It's important for me to emphasize this, too. We've talked about it in terms of allowing it but only if it's far enough, safe enough, and clean enough. We have an important tourist industry here in the sunshine state. We want to increase our domestic oil production to help our country, obviously. But we want to do it in way that is smart. And that's what Senator McCain believes in doing. Doing it in a way that is consistent with protecting our environment, protecting our beaches in Florida. It's a beautiful place to come visit. We want to make sure that while were doing that though we do conserve, that we look to solar, wind, nuclear, tide energy. All these things is what we have to do. It has to be all hands on deck with this issue. A crisis, issue number one to voters of my state. When gas hits $4 a gallon it's a crisis point. It affects the price of tourism and food and I have been touring small businesses across the state and it's having an impact. […] BRIAN KILMEADE […] Senator Bayh, *will you have a hard time supporting Barack Obama because you've worked so well with John McCain and you supported Senator Hillary Clinton?* EVAN BAYH: No, not at all. Look, I respect John McCain. *He is a good man. But he is badly mistaken in embracing many of the Bush policies, particularly the economic policies. And I think John was just wrong when he said the last eight years have been pretty good for us economically and that things are going pretty well today economically*. We need a change in Washington, a fundamental change. And I think Barack Obama is best positioned to provide that change. *Jeanne Moos Examines McCain's Tire Gauge Stunt *(CNN 08/06/08 06:51am) ROBERTS: Well when it comes to solving Americas energy problems, John McCain seems to think Barack Obama is full of hot air. CHETRY: […] The McCain campaign has a brand new weapon to drive the point home. JEANNE MOOS: Could this be the hiss of the air going out of a political stunt? The tire pressure gauge has become the political prop of the week, as the McCain campaign tries to use it to deflate Senator Obama. MCCAIN: He suggested that we put air in our tires to save on gas. We're not going to achieve energy independence by inflating our tires. The only thing I've heard him say is that we should inflate our tires. MOOS: This is what Senator Obama did say as he ticked off things individuals could do to save energy. OBAMA: Making sure your tires are inflated. MOOS: Those seven words became what the McCain campaign dubbed, Obama's Energy Plan. Emblazoned on tire pressure gauges they handed out on the press plane. The McCain folks even handed out tire gauges to people lining up for an Obama rally. They're being sold on eBay for 10 bucks. And over and over, Senator McCain used tire inflation to tread on Obama. MCCAIN: Do you think that's enough to break our dependence on Middle Eastern oil? My opponent doesn't want to drill, he doesn't want nuclear power, he wants you to inflate your tires. MOOS: Tire pressure, tire pressure! All this talk about tire pressure is raising my blood pressure. There's something wrong with my blood pressure. Hoo Hiss is what columnist Joe Klein is saying. JOE KLIEN: *I think the McCain campaign has some weird idea that you can win a presidential election through mockery.* MOOS: But the Automobile Association of America isn't mocking tire inflation, on a vehicle like this just one tire: So you're about 4lbs under inflated. MOOS: Can result in this: AAA EXPERT: So you're losing about 8% of your fuel economy. MOOS: After several days of Republican spin on the tire issue Obama got tired of it. BARACK OBAMA: They're going around, they're sending like little tire gauges, making fun of this idea as if this is Barack Obama's energy policy. MOOS: His actual energy plan fills page after page on his website. OBAMA: It's like these guys take pride in being ignorant. *They think it's funny that they are making fun of something that's actually true. * MOOS: But watch your back, tire gauges can be hazardous. This guy used one to create a pipe to smoke ghanga. And our AAA expert found out it's not just the gauge that's feeling the pressure. [Expert hit in head with camera] CHETRY: By the way the McCain campaign emailed us with a reminder that *John McCain did say that he does agree we should keep our tires inflated to the optimum level.* He just doesn't think that it's enough to break our dependence on foreign oil. And as we said there are a bunch of these websites like politifect, who say that if your talking plausibility, *there is a chance perhaps that if we all were running on optimum tire pressure we could save as much as we could possible get from offshore drilling. * -- Jacob Roberts PAO 208.420.3470 (c) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the "big campaign" group.
