“The higher the pump prices are, the more likely it is for Congress to debate energy bills/spill bills/get-the-Gulf-back-to-work bills, because it will focus people’s attention on this issue, and it is an important issue, it’s not going to get away,” Landrieu said.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) made similar comments Wednesday. “I think $4 per gallon gas is coming and it’s an opportunity to reengage on energy policy,” he said."
