The New York Times interviews Ian Bowman-Henderson, a 19-year-old Obamaphile who traveled from Cincinnati to Denver to participate in the Democratic convention. Bowman-Henderson was not entirely happy with what he saw. He and other young participants told the Times that "the convention process had left them marginalized as more centrist views on issues like offshore drilling took hold." What on earth is he talking about? Does Obama's opposition to drilling not go far enough for Bowman-Henderson? Clearly Obama's position on drilling isn't "centrist." It isn't even "liberal." Plenty of liberals support drilling offshore - they would have to, as otherwise the polls showing more than two-thirds of the public support lifting the drilling ban would make no sense. Obama's position is just wrong: wrong on the merits and bad politics to boot.
