Debate: McCain tags Obama for ‘05 energy bill 0

McCain just nailed Obama on the 2005 energy bill, using it as an example of Obama's support for excess pork spending.

Ouch. Thing is, McCain didn't really vote against the bill because it had pork in it. But Obama did vote for it because of the pork for ethanol and renewable energy. It's a legitimate point, and it drew blood.
