New political website EnviroWonk (riding out of the Eco-Geek stable) has posted their "2008 EnviroWonk Super (giga), Post-Bowl, Fat Tuesday Primary Scorecard." Don't know why they did it as an image instead of text, that means I have to actually write something, which is annoying.

Everyone's position has "evolved" except for Huckabee who doesn't believe in evolution; Barack Obama has changed is views on coal; but as David Roberts of Grist noted in an earlier post, "It is difficult to think of a another policy issue on which the ground has shifted so far, so fast, and difficult to think of another policy issue on which the gulf between the two political parties is so vast and striking." ::Envirowonk , see also ::Plenty's comparison here.

When did our country start relying on the president to clean up the environment. Democrat or Republican, we can not rely on them. We have to rely on ourselves to clean the country.
Who is the greenest candidate? Who cares. Lets get out and take care of it ourselves!
