I skipped out before the Mitt Romney speech last night, but I came back to the NRI summit this morning to catch Mike Huckabee kicking off his presidential campaign, or at least the exploratory phase of it. (More on Huckabee later.) When I came back downstairs from Huckabee’s post-speech press conference, James Woolsey and Jerry Taylor were quite literally yelling at each other over whether the government should act to reduce dependence on foreign oil, with Quin Hillyer attempting to referee. Ramesh Ponnuru, now speaking on domestic policy, called it “putting the energy into energy policy.”
