Not even the worst Oil spill in history can stop Jon Runyan from wantng to Drill baby Drill

Despite the worst oil spill in history, Jon Runyan still wants to drill baby drill. You wonder what it would take to change his opinion and I can't imagine beach residents in Ocean County are going to like this position:
Since the disaster, Runyan said he still favors drilling off New Jersey's coast.

"We have to sit down and get our regulations straight and make sure they are applied, and once that's done, I don't have a problem with it," he said.

Adler has already tried to point to the difference in positions:
Minutes after Runyan won the June 8 GOP primary, Adler was on NJN public television from Washington saying he was "very, very surprised" that Runyan supported drilling off the Jersey coast.
Adler's distinction is that he opposes drilling off the Jersey shore and Virginia coast, but if they want it in the Gulf that's their call. As Oil continues to flow into the gulf, you wonder if this position will hurt Runyan with the voters particularly in the shore areas of his district. Here's a live camera shot of the oil flow:

With tar balls now hitting the Texas beaches, the impact of this oil spill has been felt by every state touching the Gulf. The two candidates will have their first debate on the Michael Smerconish show tomorrow morning and I'm sure this issue will come up.
