| The Obama campaign released a policy outline [PDF] today on science and innovation, pledging to double federal funding for research over 10 years. An Obama-Biden administration, they say on their website, would change 'the posture of our federal government from being one of the most anti-science administrations in American history to one that embraces science and technology.' The plan is intended to support innovation, increase the country's competitiveness, and cre ... |

'Bush 44'
Obama campaign goes on the attack while McCain's newest ad calls for more drilling |

| The Obama campaign is going on the attack today. It's releasing a new ad, 'Honor,' that strings together media quotes accusing John McCain of making false claims and running a sleazy campaign. And Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden is hitting McCain with a speech -- unambiguously titled 'Bush 44' -- that argues the Republican candidate would perpetuate the Bush administration's agenda on issues including energy policy. 'John McCain stands with Ge ... |

| Biden, Biden, Biden. Everybody's talking about Biden. I've rounded up some of the more interesting stuff below. Start, of course, with Grist's fact sheet on Biden's environmental record and our interview with Biden on environmental issues. Other green stuff: see a 2007 rundown on Biden from the League of Conservation Voters and this recent roundup from Greenpeace on his eco-record (I think they get the liquid-coal thing wrong -- more on that later). Here are Obama's ... |

| Joe Biden. Photo: senate.gov Barack Obama's running mate will be Joe Biden. Here's a fact sheet on Biden's environmental record. Grist interviewed Biden in August 2007, when he was running for president. He said this about dealing with climate change: To deal with global warming, you have to change the attitude of the world, particularly China and India, the two largest developing nations. But in order to do that, to have any credibility, you have to be ... |

| Unless the Democrats manage to blow the '08 elections, or some other calamity strikes, a president who is ready to seriously confront the climate crisis will be sworn into office in January 2009. Following in the footsteps of other Democratic candidates, Joe Biden unveiled his climate and energy plan on November 20, 2007. Biden's plan looks a little bit generic compared with the offerings we've seen from Edwards, Dodd, Richardson, Obama, and most recently, Hillary C ... |
