INDIANAPOLIS-There has been a lot of news coverage about the gas tax “holiday” Senator Hillary Clinton and Senator John McCain have proposed. Senator Barack Obama is against the plan. You can read about the coverage of the holiday gas tax here, here, and here.

The three candidates are not the only ones talking about it.

Former President Bill Clinton has been holding what the Clinton campaign calls “town halls.” I wrote about them here, and at the two I attended Friday, just outside of Indianapolis, he addressed the gas tax “holiday” too.

The first video is from Greenfield, Indiana, where he spoke to a crowd of about 900. The second clip was taken about four hours later in Lebanon, Indiana, where he addressed a crowd of roughly 400.

“When push comes to shove, it’s one of those cool political things,” said Teresa Fisher, an Obama supporter who was attending the Clinton event with her daughter. Fisher said somebody needed to come up with something, but said this proposal was a short-term solution.

“It’s too short-term, we need something permanent,” said Shannon Metzger, who attended the event with her husband Russell Metzger. He agreed, “it’s good for the short term, but we need something more permanent,” said Russell.

I spoke with about 15 people after President Clinton’s Lebanon rally about the holiday gas tax, and none said they thought the plan was a great one. Most were unsure of what it really entailed, but it was clear that everyone wanted a long-term solution to end rising gas prices.

Julie Lakomek, an undecided voter, said she still had to do her research about the candidates. Lakomek said she wanted a permanent solution to gas prices. “I liked what he said about hybrid cars, that’s exciting and affordable,” said Lakomek, who is a teacher in the community.

President Clinton is scheduled to hold six Town Hall rallies today. And if they are anything like the ones I attended Friday, Indiana hasn’t heard the last of the gas tax “holiday.” At least from President Clinton.
