McCain, Capps clash on Central Coast
6.26.2008 | 0 Comments
San Luis Obispo congresswoman Lois Capps (D-Calif.) went head-to-head with Republican John McCain earlier this week when the presidential candidate held a rally in Santa Barbara to discuss energy issues.
McCain visited Santa Barbara on Monday and Tuesday; the first day for a private fundraiser with local Republicans, the second for a green energy rally at Museum of Natural History alongside Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
MSNBC reported that the demonstration outside the rally was the largest anti-McCain gathering they’ve seen this election season.
McCain recently proposed lifting the moratorium on offshore drilling in an effort to increase domestic oil production and ease consumer gas prices.
