August 6, 2008 McCain and Obama's differing energy plans (part 2) Play video

(NECN: Jim Braude) - On the road to the White House both candidates focused on energy issues again Tuesday. In what some are calling a flip-flop, Barack Obama is giving a tentative thumbs up to offshore drilling, joining John McCain, who himself changed his position on drilling earlier this month. But that's where the similarities end.

Joining Jim Braude on this segment of Newsnight are Warren Tolman former candidate for Massachusetts Governor, Republican Bob Parks, candidate for State Representative in the second Franklin district of Massachusetts, and Seth Gitell from Gitell.com and The New York Sun.
