If the greenest groups are against the bill, its likelihood of passing actually increases.

Sadly, most congressman will assume that if the green groups and fringe politicians disapprove, it must be because it's reasonable and moderate bill. Believe it or not, many congressman acknowledge that climate legislation is important but aren't likely to see eye-to-eye with a socialist from Vermont.

The funny thing is that the conservatives and corporations aren't yet aware of what they've shown a willingness to adopt. If you were to look at the details of the bill, this is actually a progressive bill, albeit not perfect, that will go a long  way in reducing GHG emissions.

Lieberman & Warner, proponents for waterboarding the world, the deal-maker extraordinaires, are perfect leaders of the green American Al-Qaeda.  That's progress for you.

What a disappointment Gristmill covers this like a horserace- will the bill make it, the question is what will Lautenberg do- just like the MSM covering the elections, lacking any critique of the policy and substance.  Sad, sad, sad.

...at least SOMEONE is covering this stuff ids! When was the last time anyone actually tracked an environmental bill like this?

Yes, the coverage needs some "oomph" and substance but its a good start.

Hillary is for nuclear. Obama is for coal. Edwards is for neither. Need we say more?
