Lawyer Sanders says McCain and Palin are split on drilling for oil in the Artic National Wildlife Refuge.

The Republican presidential candidate and his vice presidential choice also disagree on drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Sen. McCain opposes drilling in the Arctic Refuge, explaining earlier this year that “I don’t want to drill in the Grand Canyon. I don’t want to drill in the Everglades. This is one of the most pristine and beautiful parts of the world.”

As Alaska’s governor, Gov. Palin strongly endorses drilling in the Arctic Refuge, saying publicly in the weeks before her selection that she hoped to change Sen. McCain’s mind on this issue. I for one, strongly agree with John McCain on this issue.
