Kerry, bipartisan bloc discuss compromise.
BY MICHAEL KRANISH
WASHINGTON — Seeking to resuscitate stalled global warming legislation in Washington’s suddenly changed political climate, a bipartisan group of senators including John Kerry of Massachusetts has been conducting private talks this week with the White House and a key business group over an array of concessions sought by Republicans.
The election of Scott Brown as Kerry’s colleague has added urgency to the negotiations for a compromise, which would include the Democrats’ goal of limiting carbon emissions while encouraging development of nuclear power, subsidizing coal mining, and drilling for off-shore oil.
Trying to win Brown’s support for a deal is part of the effort. As a Massachusetts state senator, he supported a regional program to cap emissions. But during his US Senate campaign he said the regional program did not work and expressed doubts about the science of global warming. As a result, he opposed the Democrats’ national emissions-cutting program that was championed by Kerry last year.
A Brown spokesman said yesterday the Senate’s newest Republican, who has not been sworn in, would not comment on a possible compromise.
"Brown’s focus right now is on getting settled into his new job as a US senator. There will be plenty of time to talk about issues down the line," Eric Fehrnstrom, a Brown adviser, wrote in an e-mail.

Kerry accompanied Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, and Senator Joseph Lieberman, a Connecticut independent, to a White House meeting on Wednesday with presidential chief of staff Rahm Emanuel to discuss shaping a bipartisan bill.

Graham(Little Red Riding Hood)meets Rahm(the Wolf).
How dumb can you get?
These are nothing but RINOS and this is not what the people want. No deal on global warming. The POTUS is a failure and a menace to America and should be seen and treated as such.
Get the RINOS out period. They do nothing but trick us.
“Just look at the RNC Chairman.”
Now that is just plain racist! though true! 8-)
“Graham(Little Red Riding Hood)meets Rahm(the Wolf).”
To get him to pull a Specter flip so they have their 60 votes again for healthcare
Don’t let the Republicans sell us out or be used to help destroy us.
Get them out in 2010 and elect real conservatives like DeMint.
Figure out? They perpetrated the whole scam in order to kill private enterprise, steal our money, and assume total control over our lives.
You’ll have to wait until 2014. He was just reelected by our “intelligent” South Carolina voters.
WHY!?????????????
CO2 emissions CANNOT change the temperature of the earth.
Not by so much as 1/10th of 1/100th of a degree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Capping Emissions will do NOTHING other than kill business and raise money for the Government.
Oh... will raise money for the government.... yea...... THROW THEM ALL OUT! NOW!
“Just look at the RNC Chairman.”
That one falls into the stooopid category.
Here ya go. :)
So while the Democrats are running from their agenda, Graham and McCain are running towards it (with Palin cheering them on from the sidelines.)
Graham and McCain long to be ‘decision makers’ that can influence the direction of the country. They don’t really care whether it’s to right direction or not.
You won’t find this story in our media, but here’s the latest from the Brit media;

Excellent analysis of the situation!!!
Less jobs, Less energy, Higher cost to consumers.
I had to read this three times and still can't figure out if it is tongue-in-cheek!
