Was Today's OFA Email re: the Energy Bill a Trial Balloon?

Aside from regulation, a strong confrontational tone against BP, and an acknowledgment of reality, the White House is remaining mum on whether the President will use the 20 minutes the networks have given him to call for -- and push for -- a comprehensive energy policy. One clue: is Organizing for America readying an energy push? Today's email from the President to his list may have been a trial balloon, for "we're certainly going to direct people's energy to it who are interested in the issue as appropriate," says a party official, which is not exactly a ringing endorsement of the "Go Big" position.

Whatever the President calls for tomorrow, the Senate hopes he has the votes for it. And House Democrats hopes he makes clear distinctions between the Democrats and Republicans AND puts pressure on the Senate to "go big."
