Bearcat, I think the idea of an offshore drilling compromise has been baked in since the beginning. Obama has to triangulate here and logic dictates a plan to satisfy the majority while pissing off the diehards on either side. The Eastern GOM is next to the existing infrastructure so it's an obvious next step for US offshore development. The Cuban drilling threat just gives it added impetus. The resource survey along the Mid-Atlantic coastal states will likely involve the latest 3-dimensional seismic analysis to pinpoint prospective leasing areas. Any positive results would be a boost for opening up leasing there. You know that California is dead set against offshore drilling, so that's off the table. The Alaska resource development crowd will flip out about the Bristal Bay lockup, but my state has lost so much clout in DC that nobody cares what happens to us anymore.
