Obama and oil companies The latest primary dispute: Does Obama take oil money?	David Roberts	30 Mar 2008	Gristmill
This is a new ad from Obama, playing now in Pennsylvania: In response, the Clinton campaign rushed out a statement claiming that Obama does too accept money from oil and gas companies: According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Sen. Obama has received over $160,000 from the oil and gas companies. Two major bundlers for his campaign -- George Kaiser and Robert Cavnar -- are oil company CEOs. Sen. Obama has accepted money from Exxon, Shell, BP, Chevron and ...

BREAKING: Al Gore still not running, though superdelegates may force him to, only probably not	David Roberts	27 Mar 2008	Gristmill
In his column today, Joe Klein spins out a preposterously unlikely scenario whereby the Democratic superdelegates get together and conspire to pass over both Obama and Clinton and instead hand the nomination to ... Al Gore. Two or three paragraphs in I thinking, oh, Joe, pish-tosh. Then: Pish-tosh, you say, and you're probably right. OK then.

'We need to create new jobs in this country -- green collar jobs that can help our economy and our environment. And I'd like to point out that that's my term -- 'green collar' jobs. See, I can come up with exciting phrases.' -- Hillary Clinton ... at least according to The Onion.

West Virginia, Mountain Drama Clinton and Obama boost coal in West Virginia		21 Mar 2008	News
Posted at 2:03 PM on 21 Mar 2008 Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama both did some coal-boosting while campaigning in West Virginia this week. Clinton told West Virginians she's always been in favor of "the cleanest coal possible," but that "coal fits in very importantly" to America's energy future. Asked about mountaintop-removal mining in a radio interview Wednesday, she hedged, saying she didn't &quo ...

Trading off jobs and lives for the 'economic necessity' of coal Hillary Clinton gives tepid response on question about mountaintop-removal mining	David Roberts	19 Mar 2008	Gristmill
Hillary Clinton was asked about mountaintop-removal mining in an interview on West Virginia public radio (mp3 link) this morning. Her answer was, in my eyes, terribly disappointing. Here it is: I am concerned about it for all the reasons people state, but I think it's a difficult question because of the conflict between the economic and environmental trade-off that you have here. I'm not an expert. I don't know enough to have an independent opinion, but I sure ...

Primaries thread	David Roberts	04 Mar 2008	Gristmill
This is the thread to discuss all things election related this evening. To kick things off: Obama wins Vermont, handily, as expected. From what I hear the other three are tight. UPDATE: According to CNN, McCain has won Texas, Ohio, Vermont, and Rhode Island, thereby securing the Republican nomination. Guess Huckabee should have majored in math after all. UPDATE: Clinton projected to win Rhode Island. UPDATE: CNN is projecting that both my children are now in bed ...

Tina Fey: 'Bitch is the new black'	David Roberts	01 Mar 2008	Gristmill
If you watch to the end of this, you'll find a spirited defense of Hillary Clinton. I was recently scolded for only posting Obama videos, but the thing is, all the interesting/funny videos this campaign have been from Obama supporters. I'm glad Tina Fey (who I worship) helped me balance the scales. Now, somebody send me a decent McCain video and I'll post it! Here's Fey:

The Brave One Clinton talks up clean energy at Houston energy summit		29 Feb 2008	News
Posted at 1:36 PM on 29 Feb 2008 The Greater Houston Partnership held an energy forum Thursday to which all of the presidential candidates were invited and only one showed up: Hillary Clinton. Surrounded by folks from the energy industry, days before the crucial Texas primary, Clinton elected not to tell Big Oil what it wanted to hear. "I do not believe that now is the time when subsidies for the oil companies are necessa ...

An Eye for a Buckeye Dems touch on green issues at debate in crucial primary state of Ohio		27 Feb 2008	News
Posted at 5:32 AM on 27 Feb 2008 Environmental issues popped up during a discussion of trade policy in last night's debate between Democratic presidential contenders Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Clinton said she would "renegotiate the core labor and environmental standards" of NAFTA. Obama agreed, saying, "I intend to make certain that every [trade] agreement that we sign has the labor ...

"I helped to pass legislation to begin a training program for green collar jobs. I want to see people throughout Ohio being trained to do the work that will put solar panels on roofs, install wind turbines, do geothermal, take advantage of biofuels, and I know that if we had put $5 billion into the stimulus package to really invest in the training and the tax incentives that would have created those jobs as the Democrats w ...

This sounds familiar Clinton only candidate to appear at energy forum on Thurs.	David Roberts	26 Feb 2008	Gristmill
The Greater Houston Partnership had planned a bigtime energy forum where all the presidential candidates would come and discuss America's energy future. Only Clinton agreed to come. Despite that, it should be interesting. There will be lots of players from Big Oil & Gas there, and they want to hear about what they euphemistically call 'short-term solutions,' i.e., um, oil and gas. Will Clinton elect to piss them off, or piss her green supporters off? ...

'His being on the Green Party [ballot] prevented Al Gore from being the greenest president we could have had, and I think that's really unfortunate. I think we paid a big price for it. I'm pretty sad about that. -- Hillary Clinton, on Ralph Nader's entry into the 2008 presidential race

Last night's debate	David Roberts	22 Feb 2008	Gristmill
Yeah, so, there was a Democratic debate last night. Far as I can tell, there wasn't much said about energy or the environment (except in the clean coal ads brought to viewers by debate sponsor ABEC). Both candidates briefly mentioned creating a green economy, but it wasn't the subject of any back and forth or detailed questioning. (Though see Glenn below.) I will say, Clinton's closing remarks were some of the most graceful of the campaign. She says she'll fight on ev ...

Obama and Clinton discuss border wall in last night's debate Will the next president stop construction on the border wall?	Glenn Hurowitz	22 Feb 2008	Gristmill
Last night's debate included some good news for the embattled wildlife and landscape of the Southwest. In response to a question about whether or not they would slow construction of the border wall under construction in the Southwest, both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton criticized the wall as ineffective and counterproductive. Obama went so far as to say he would 'reverse that policy' of building a wall, while Clinton criticized the wall as 'absurd' and s ...

LCV 2007 scorecard John McCain scores a big ol' goose egg on this year's environmental report card	David Roberts	21 Feb 2008	Gristmill
Today, the League of Conservation Voters released its annual scorecard, which rates legislators based on their votes on issues of environmental significance. The LCV scorecard has its critics, but it's nonetheless become something of a gold standard when measuring how "green" a lawmaker is. A couple of big stories emerge from this year's scorecard. The first speaks for itself: Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.): 67% Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY): 73% Sen. ...

Bad outfits, good recycling habits Hillary Clinton touts her green cred in an Us Weekly spread	Lisa Hymas	12 Feb 2008	Gristmill
Us Weekly, Feb. 18 In an effort to humanize and humorize her image, Hillary Clinton gamely went along with a four-page spread for the latest issue of celeb rag Us Weekly, offering comments on some of her fashion misses of yesteryear. Explaining a huge, garish coat she wore in 2000, she says, 'I'm a big believer in recycling -- even carpets!

Posted at 10:46 PM on 05 Feb 2008 Coming out of Super Tuesday's primaries and caucuses in 22 states, the Republicans are looking ever more likely to nominate their most eco-conscious candidate, John McCain, who was the big GOP winner of the day. But green issues don't seem to have played much if any role in the Republican voting, and McCain didn't reference anything environmental in his speech to supporters at the end of the night. ...

If you're a political junkie like me, all you can think about is the primary and the general election beyond.
