Romney out	David Roberts	07 Feb 2008	Gristmill
Mitt Romney dropped out of the presidential race today, which all but insures that John McCain will be the Republican candidate. I wonder: how will Republicans and industry groups lobby against a carbon bill if their president supports it?

Republican primary in Florida	David Roberts	29 Jan 2008	Gristmill
In case you hadn't heard, there's a Republican primary in Florida today. It has largely come down to a Romney/McCain contest, the polls have been bouncing all over the place, it's utterly impossible to predict what will happen, and it's likely that whoever wins -- particularly if it's a sizeable win -- will secure the Republican nomination.
