Comments on: John McCain and Climate Change - Dispatch from SC http://itsgettinghotinhere.org/2008/01/19/john-mccain-and-climate-change-dispatch-from-sc/ Dispatches from the Youth Climate Movement Sat, 22 Nov 2008 11:37:18 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=MU hourly 1 By: Evan http://itsgettinghotinhere.org/2008/01/19/john-mccain-and-climate-change-dispatch-from-sc/#comment-60710 Evan Tue, 22 Jan 2008 18:07:57 +0000 http://itsgettinghotinhere.org/2008/01/19/john-mccain-and-climate-change-dispatch-from-sc/#comment-60710 I completely agree with Nick. Enviros in FL should be pulling out all the stops trying to help McCain win the nomination there. It's not like their time is preoccupied with the Democratic candidates. I completely agree with Nick.

If he won the Republican nomination, it would be a superb opportunity for us. I don't think he stands a chance at becoming president, because of his position on the war (and that's just as well). Yet if we had McCain running against our Democratic candidate, the Democrat would be forced to do some fairly serious thinking about global warming to out-shine him. Otherwise we may have some ultra-conservative who's views on the environment are so backward that the Democratic candidate hardly even has to try in order to look better (another John Kerry situation, one might say). With McCain as the Republican candidate, we could actually have both presidential nominees engage in meaningful dialogue about the most important issue of our time. It would be a "global warming skeptic's" nightmare. Now wouldn't that be gratifying? I say, support McCain. If he won the Republican nomination, it would be a superb opportunity for us.

I feel like most of the republican candidates have mentioned doing something about the environment in some regard...even Huckabee and Romney (although mostly rhetoric).

He stands alone in the Republican field in that area. I believe that someone like McCain can really bring Global Warming to the forefront in mainstream America.
