Thanks for the ping! I have always been amused to read Cockburn, since he usually comes up with these hilarious ideas, like how Kyoto-like efforts will “hurt” small third-world farmers. (Hello? China and India, anyone? Can any rational person argue that Kyoto will hurt anyone as much as the US?)
But, it is instructive, and illustrative, to have him chronicle his own experience (from the left, no less) of being treated as a heretic for the “sin” of not worshipping the climate-change diety. Note how he defends the catastrophists as corporate dupes, but having the pure motives of seeking social justice, not admitting (aloud) that they are just stone cold stupid. ROFL!
Interesting perspective, however. He fails to note how nuclear power is so bad/objectionable, when Europe, and especially France, are much “greener” than we are and rely much more heavily on nuclear than fossil fuel technology. That must be one of those little “cognitive dissonances”, LOLOL!
Real Clear Politics has the counts that you mention:
McCain | Romney | Huckabee |
93 (less 57 from FL = 36 as of day before yesterday) | 67 | 40 |
But CNN has the following:
McCain | Romney | Huckabee |
95 (less 57 from FL = 38 as of day before yesterday) | 67 | 26 |
Not sure why there would be a difference.
