In her speech to the Democratic National Convention tonight, Nancy Pelosi was at pains to underline that John McCain is “wrong†on the issue of energy. Setting aside that it’s tough to argue that there’s anything “wrong†with advocating a comprehensive, all of the above energy policy, I’ve noted before that John McCain voted against the 2005 energy bill which he said contained “irresponsible†handouts, while Barack Obama voted for it—and that Democrats like Senator Clinton, John Kerry and Chuck Schumer also criticized that bill and voted against it. But here’s an additional point of interest, in view of Obama’s selection of Joe Biden as his running mate: Biden also voted against the bill. That leaves me wondering, Madam Speaker, does that mean Joe Biden is also wrong on energy policy?
