    governatorWhen Mr. S came in on the recall I kind of worried that he'd be a rubber-stamp Republican, coasting and going with the party.  I'm not please with everything that's happened out here, but I am pleased that he's split as often as he has in the enviro direction.
    Hey!  He might have finally figured out that hydrogen is a loser.

    Hopefully...They'll be asked a question or 2 at the Boca Raton debate where Environmental Defense  is one of the underwriters.
    The fact that Environmental Defense is involved with a Republican debate though might cause Glenn Hurowitz and Chris Bowers' brains to explode.

    that's easyEverybody knows exactly what the GOP candidates will say, with the possible exception of McCain. So from the reporters' point-of-view, it's a waste of a precious opportunity to ask a question.
    But thinking beyond the short-term, the gov. is absolutely right. And reporters could ask a less-obvious global warming question, and possibly provoke a real answer. (For example -- on coal, the real costs of "clean coal," etc.)
    But they don't.
    This year the candidates (at least on the Democratic side) seem to be leaving the press corp in the dust.
    Maybe we need a new press corps.
