Remember McCain went from King of Flip Flopper to Agent of Change.

Because McCain does not have an agenda against oil companies so he looks at the issue from a cost point of view. When oil was cheap , there was no need to drill . But now it is not cheap so it makes sense to drill for more.

ok- that is why Obama has recieved more money from oil companies thatn McCain.
Anyways he prob changed his mind because he , like millions of Americans realized one day - "holy shizznit" this crap is getting out of control - and its time to take control of the helm.
I guess the easier thought is just to believe the oposite...right

He changed his stance for the same reason he's changed his stance on other issues. Politics.
