Jeb: I would've supported drilling at $4.30 a gallon

Former Gov. Jeb Bush tells the Florida Keys' Keynoter this week that "if he'd known while he was Florida's governor that oil would spike above $4.30 a gallon in the Keys, he would have been in favor of drilling for oil off Florida's coast.

In an e-mail to the Keynoter, he wrote that "had I known that gas was going to be $4.30 per gallon, as I stated, I would have supported a lifting of the moratorium with proper safeguards."

The paper notes his disclosure came the same day his brother, President George Bush, announced he was lifting the executive ban on offshore drilling in the United States.
