That point would correspond to when Senator McCain reversed his opposition to increased offshore drilling. I won't even point out that oil companies are not currently drilling on all the land they currently have leased or that there is a 2-3 year lag time on getting the equipment to scout, drill or even place a new oil rig in operation.
PDF copy of the study, information taken from FEC records. Yes I randomly read studies on campaigns finances. Anyone shocked by that? Didn't think so. And it wasn't that random...it was on Think Progress...so I didn't just google search it!

With such dramatic graphic demonstrations that some may consider to be doctored, I would suggest a citation.
Sure I can get that which news organization would you like. And this is a blog honey....I can write whatever scurrilous information I want with my cheeto stained fingers from my mom's basement!

No correlation does not equal causation. But you can definitly intuit motive at times....
