What do you mean by most aggressive?

The student wanted to ask “How her energy plan compares to the other candidates’ energy plans?”

Is that so wrong?

It’s pretty good. I worry it’s a little to aggressive (ie not implementable,) but it’s still the most aggressive out there among the Dems. A link is here with a link available to her full plan:

I personally don’t think it’s necessary for ANY campaign to tell us what questions we should ask. It doesn’t matter what the content is.

Clinton’s energy plan has been given plenty of press, and I don’t think she’s sincere about implementing it. Hillary’s campaign is just using it as a talking point to help win the primary, and sadly, they had to plant questions in the audience so that she could appeal more to the youth, which they have since dismissed as “not looking like caucus-goers, but….. like Facebook.”

If you don’t think this policy is just catering to green groups and progress for primary votes then why will she not be showing up at the Lieberman-Warner hearings?

I’m not sure which one yet, but I’ll keep you posted.

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/12/us/politics/12clinton.html?ref=politics

“The request came during an event Tuesday in Newton, Iowa, where Mrs. Clinton outlined her plan to create five million jobs in renewable energy sectors.”

Sounds familiar, no?
