Since Huckabee is unlikely to win the GOP nomination, it is looking more like a McCain vs Obama, and that is our best hope for a civilized campaign based on issues.
http://www.barackobama.com/issues/energy/:
As president, Barack Obama will re-evaluate the transportation funding process to ensure that smart growth considerations are taken into account. Obama will build upon his efforts in the Senate to ensure that more Metropolitan Planning Organizations create policies to incentivize greater bicycle and pedestrian usage of roads and sidewalks, and he will also re-commit federal resources to public mass transportation projects across the country. Building more livable and sustainable communities will not only reduce the amount of time individuals spent commuting, but will also have significant benefits to air quality, public health and reducing greenhouse gas emissions."
Ok. I've always disparaged one issue candidates, but if the one issue is bicycles, he's got my vote
ReplyDeleteMcCain?
ReplyDeleteI see that as very unlikely.
It going to be Romney vs. Huckabee since its Thompson's race to lose and he's pulling out all the stops to do just that.
Romney put tons of effort into Iowa, and McCain didnt' even go there, but tied for 3rd. Romney is very well-funded, but he has been detected as a fake, and Iowans and New Hampsirians hate fakes, which they showed last night. Perhaps Huckabee will pull it off, and perhaps Romney will make a comeback later this month, but neither of them could defeat Obama.
ReplyDeleteI still don't get why the GOP hates McCain. Self-defeatists if you ask me.
Cool Pic! I am restoring a 1961 Murray tricycle like that for my Son.
