WASHINGTON - In an election all about change, environmental groups are doing the usual - endorsing the Democratic presidential candidate.
The League of Conservation Voters will become the latest green group to back Democrat Barack Obama in five separate events across the country Monday. Its pick shouldn't be a surprise. Its scorecard of votes on environmental issues for the first session of the current Congress gave Obama a score of 67 and Republican John McCain a zero. The Arizona senator did not show up for any of the votes the group scored.

Drilling off-shore is a great idea. Most of the oil/tar blobs that wash up on Southern California beaches are due to geologic seepage. Off-shore drilling will reduce the under sea bed oil pressure and thereby minimize the amount of oil washing up on the beaches every day. It will also put oil to market in less than 2 years since there are many existing wells that were capped 25 years ago as part of the off-shore drilling ban.
