Notable quotable Hillary Clinton stumps for public transportation	David Roberts	16 Sep 2008	Gristmill

DNC: Convention thoughts at 3 a.m., part two Energy is a hot topic at the DNC; also, Death Cab	David Roberts	27 Aug 2008	Gristmill
Here it is, almost 3 a.m., I'm at my hotel, and this is the first time I've had an internet connection all day. There's no wireless in the convention hall and no wireless at any of the venues I've been to so far. There's (allegedly spotty, slow) wireless at the Big Tent for bloggers, but who wants to go sit in the Big Tent when there are all these interesting events happening? Don't these people know there are journalists in town? Why is there not universal wireless ye ...

Party Animals Clinton, Warner, and Schweitzer cite energy as they stump for Obama and bash McCain		26 Aug 2008	News
Posted at 9:49 PM on 26 Aug 2008 In a rousing speech endorsing Barack Obama at the Democratic National Convention Tuesday night, Hillary Clinton said her erstwhile rival would "transform our energy agenda by creating millions of green jobs and building a new, clean energy future."

DNC: Clinton speaks Hillary Clinton says lots of good stuff on climate and energy	Kate Sheppard	26 Aug 2008	Gristmill
Hillary Clinton gave her much-anticipated convention speech this evening, to a very excited crowd. Seems everyone in the room had a 'Hillary' sign, and the cheers were deafening. She said a lot of good stuff about climate and energy concerns, but I couldn't quite get all of it. But cheers for these issues making it into a speech in which she's trying to encompass a broad range of issues. I'll add some of they key points when I track down the full text of the speech. ...

Obama wins enough delegates to secure the Democratic nomination Obama claims nomination, but Clinton says she's not going anywhere yet	Kate Sheppard	03 Jun 2008	Gristmill
Photo: wfiupublicradio Barack Obama secured enough delegates to win the Democratic nomination on Tuesday, passing the threshold of 2,118 needed to become the party's candidate. 'Because you chose to listen not to your doubts or your fears but to your greatest hopes and highest aspirations, tonight we mark the end of one historic journey with the beginning of another -- a journey that will bring a new and better day to America,' Obama said in his victory s ...

'We're the Saudi Arabia of coal' Obama & Clinton shill for coal in Montana	Kate Sheppard	30 May 2008	Gristmill
The Flathead Beacon in Montana pinned down interviews with both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton ahead of the state's Tuesday primary. The paper asked questions on domestic oil and gas drilling, the preservation of public lands, and coal. The whole thing is interesting, but the candidates' responses on coal were the most notable: Q: But what role should fossil fuels play, specifically in Montana, where we've got vast coal reserves? Do you think, in the short term or ...

Make it stop Oregon and Kentucky vote; nation yawns and rolls over	Kate Sheppard	20 May 2008	Gristmill
In case anyone's still paying attention, there were two more primaries today. Hillary Clinton scored a big win in Kentucky, with 65 percent of the vote to Obama's 30 percent. But Obama looks poised to win Oregon, and says he's reached the delegate threshold. Various media folks are reporting that he now has an 'insurmountable advantage' in the race for the Democratic nomination, much like they said ... back in February. It's the Groundhog Day primary! Clinton sa ...

Forwards and Edwards John Edwards endorses Barack Obama		14 May 2008	News
Posted at 6:14 PM on 14 May 2008 Former presidential hopeful John Edwards has at long last endorsed a candidate: Barack Obama. Edwards, whose strong stances on the environment pushed his Democratic rivals to toughen their green proposals, said of his choice, "Democratic voters in America have made their choice and so have I." Hillary Clinton's campaign, which had also pursued Edwards' endorsement, chose to take a different view, ...

Voters' Voices: West Virginia II Race mattered in the W.Va. primary, but will it keep mattering?	Melinda Henneberger	14 May 2008	Gristmill
This is the second in a series of dispatches from Melinda Henneberger, who's talking to voters around the U.S. about their views on the election. Charleston, W.Va. -- According to the exit polls, I was hanging out with a bunch of racially challenged Hillary supporters at last night's victory party here. One in five West Virginia voters fessed up that race was an important factor in their choice of a candidate �- and they didn't mean they saw Obama's diverse h ...

Holiday on ice What North Carolina and Indiana tell us about future oil and climate policy	Joseph Romm	08 May 2008	Gristmill
For nearly two months now, Sen. Clinton has been outperforming the closing polls in primary state after primary state. And no one can possibly say that Sen. Obama had a good past three weeks, with the reemergence of Rev. Wright. Yet this time, he outperformed the recent polls in both states. This suggests that in the only other big issue to rise in the last week of the campaign -- the gas tax holiday -- Obama did not lose votes taking the principled position. As I (a ...

Triangulation Or how to prove you're even dumber than your opponents	Adam Browning	07 May 2008	Gristmill
There are a lot of things I miss about Bill Clinton. 'Triangulation' is not one of them. For those unfamiliar with the term, triangulation is the political strategy by which a candidate takes the stupidest ideas of his/her opponent and adopts them as his/her own, thus depriving one's opponent of a monopoly on stupidity and dispelling any misconception that you might be a candidate of substance and principle.If you remember, after the spectacular rise of the charism ...

Candidates talk energy in victory speeches Obama takes NC; Clinton appears to win Indiana	Kate Sheppard	06 May 2008	Gristmill
Barack Obama claimed North Carolina, and Hillary Clinton is the likely winner out in Indiana. In his speech in Raleigh, Obama noted the need for new, clean energy policy, and took the opportunity to knock Clinton and McCain's 'gas-tax holiday' plan: The man I met in Pennsylvania who lost his job but can't even afford the gas to drive around and look for a new one - he can't afford four more years of an energy policy written by the oil companies and for the oil compa ...

McCain and Clinton: job killers	David Roberts	06 May 2008	Gristmill
According to the American Road & Transportation Builders Association, the gas tax holiday proposed by John McCain and Hillary Clinton would destroy 23,107 jobs in California alone. UPDATE: Steve's got a point. The ARTBA report only criticizes McCain's proposal, because McCain proposes no replacement for the lost revenue. I should have looked more closely at the source report before passing this along.That said, this doesn't get Clinton off the hook. She's propos ...

I will bring oil to your house, carrying the barrels on my own back! Clinton vows to take down OPEC	David Roberts	05 May 2008	Gristmill
Now Clinton's going to dissolve OPEC: 'We're going to go right at OPEC,' she said. 'They can no longer be a cartel, a monopoly that get together once every couple of months in some conference room in some plush place in the world, they decide how much oil they're going to produce and what price they're going to put it at,' she told a crod at a firehouse in Merrillville, IN.'That's not a market. That's a monopoly,' she said, saying she'd use anti-trust law and the Worl ...

Name that tune Clinton sings the faux-populist, anti-intellectual Manichean blues	David Roberts	05 May 2008	Gristmill
I must say I'm surprised and gratified at the amount of coverage the gas-tax holiday is getting. It appears to be blowing up in Clinton's face, which is exactly what would happen in a Good and Just world. Earlier this week, asked about the fact that not a single policy expert or economist thinks the holiday would do anything for consumers, Clinton spokesflack Howard Wolfson said: 'We believe the presidency requires leadership,' said Wolfson. 'There are times that a ...

Why, Hillary, why? A gas tax holiday would be cynical and indefensible	Joseph Romm	02 May 2008	Gristmill
(I write this post with some sadness. I would not have expected a major progressive politician who obviously cares about global warming to propose a gas tax holiday, which has no public benefits whatsoever and at the same time undermines the entire rationale behind a national climate strategy that includes, as it must, a pricing mechanism for greenhouse gases. Kudos to Sen. Obama for opposing this absurd proposal -- double kudos because it might cost him a few vot ...

The gas-tax wars Candidates, Congress split on 'gas tax holiday'	Kate Sheppard	01 May 2008	Gristmill
The 'gas tax holiday' has officially emerged as the latest bickerfest big issue in the presidential race. Hillary Clinton and John McCain say drivers need a break this summer, while Obama is aggressively pushing back against the idea. In a new ad, Obama emphasizes that cutting the tax this summer would save most consumers a mere $30 -- about half the cost of a tank of gas these days. It's a short-term fix, he says in the ad, and 'that's typical of how Washington ...
