8. Edwards I hope.
Edited on Wed Dec-05-07 12:47 PM by Duncan
His platform is all about getting rid of corporate control over our government, which is essential in the struggle against global warming.

The League of Conservation Voters describes Edwards' plan as the "most comprehensive global warming plan of any presidential candidate to date."

Edwards:
"If we don't act now, it will be too late. Our generation must be the one that says 'yes' to alternative, renewable fuels and ends forever our dependence on foreign oil. Our generation must be the one that accepts responsibility for conserving natural resources and demands the tools to do it. And our generation must be the one that builds the New Energy Economy. It won't be easy, but it is time to ask the American people to be patriotic about something other than war."

I question any assertion that he has a weaker environmental record than any other candidate, except perhaps DK.

Edwards also has the best chance of winning the general election.

Gore-Kucinich was my hope, now its Edwards-Kucinich.

I don't hear anything from Obama or Clinton that makes me think they would do much.
