The Gang of 10 -- A list of the senators who have proposed a much needed bipartisan energy compromise plan.

Below are the senators comprising the Gang of 10 who are going to draft legislation that would ease the federal moratorium on offshore oil drilling while ending a tax break for oil companies:

Democrats:

Kent Conrad, N.D.
Mary Landrieu, La.
Blanche Lincoln, Ark.
Mark Pryor, Ark.
Ben Nelson, Neb.

Republicans:

Saxby Chambliss, Ga.
Johnny Isakson, Ga.
Lindsey Graham, S.C.
John Thune, S.D.
Bob Corker, Tenn.

As noted in an earlier post, in a move that could signal a possible softening of Obama's position, his campaign on Friday issued a statement praising the bill but stopped short of an endorsement.

Trying to have it both ways, McCain's campaign immediately accused Obama of flip flopping, while at the same time McCain said he would not support the proposal.

You can take this prediction to the bank. McCain will prove to be the ultimate flip flopper on this issue as he, along with more and more senators, signs onto an attempt to solve our energy crisis.
