"Mainstream America"?
Well, if you mean by "mainstream" America to be the kind of people who are endeared to James Inhofe, I would certainly concede such a point. However, if you meant most of America, your claim fails on the face of it.
Here is something to consider
NEW HAVEN, Conn.--A new Yale research survey reveals a significant shift in public attitudes toward the environment and global warming. Fully 83 percent of Americans now say global warming is a "serious" problem, up from 70 percent in 2004. More Americans than ever say they have serious concerns about environmental threats, such as toxic soil and water (92 percent, up from 85 percent in 2004), deforestation (89 percent, up from 78 percent), air pollution (93 percent, up from 87 percent) and the extinction of wildlife (83 percent, up from 72 percent in 2005).

Keeping it real
That is what I do believe Al Gore to have been doing. If he wanted to play to the public he most certainly would not have been laying out such impressive, real suggestions for the Senator's consideration.
As for how he handled himself with that jerk Inhofe, one can only wish to carry oneself so poised and professional in the presence of such insults and incredible stupidity.
Inhofe got what he wanted: soundbites to get replayed over on Neoconmanradio and Neoconmanvision. The "Fair and balanced" outlets, if you prefer.
In my estimation, Inhofe is so insincere that even some of their own can not help but to see right through him. With any luck he soon goes the way of the dinosaur: Momentum will have capped what he can do while still in office, and then trade him back to the people he really works for, where he will enjoy the aromatic pleasure of being among so many other fossil fuels now out of "public service."On Really the last one, honest posted 2 years, 7 months ago 10 Responses
