Crist looks like he's starting to hedge on his previous position of no drilling off the Florida coast, I figured they'd come around.  As the Moron-in-Chief notes, he hasn't changed course, but he's opening the door for that if that's the thing to do. 

The argument against it has been that these ugly oil platforms and the potential for oil spills would hurt their tourism funds, but I've never bought into it, because one, at some point, the cost of driving off tourists is negated by the value of petroleum.  Two, you don't have tourists if they can't afford to get there because of high oil prices.  Three, there's something about high oil prices that turn Americans ranting and borderline psychotic, I don't think you want to be known as the state keeping those prices high, because they'll hate your guts and avoid your state like the plague.
