GOP WA senate candidate Mike McGavick is a supporter of oil drilling in the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge. He and his pal, Alaskan senator Ted Stevens, have collaborated on a plan to ensure that happens.

The source of the spill was a quarter-inch hole apparently caused by corrosion inside the three-mile line that leads to the trans-Alaska oil pipeline.

If a quarter-inch hole apparently caused by corrosion can cause so much spillage (201,000 to 267,000 gallons), no politician should be able to convince anyone that they can ensure the protection of ANWR if drilling is allowed there - not even "Slick" McGavick!
