Tell me it ain't so. I would look for Powell or Kerry to get the State post. Gore is a one pony show and totally polarizing. I don't think Gore is interested. He has all his CO2 producing toys to play with.

LOL
 
I think if the job is offered AND Gore actually takes the job, it will be like St Patties day in Chicago, we are ALL IRISH (aka genuflect at the mere words: global warming)
 
Carbon credits issued for ceremonial stake burning of non believers.
 
Much has been made about how much Obama OWES the various factions that got him elected. If one looks at the popular vote, his (election) presidency is FAR from a mandate from the "peoples" I would tend to see his "SLIGHT" majority as more of an anti BUSH, Palin loathing, etc., rather than whole hearted endorsement of his seemingly flip flop here to fore secret policies. The major advantage is almost EVERYONE is now in his party. So in effect, it is HIS to command. This was hardly so when a Repub was in the executive office against a house and senate that were primarily democratic.
 
If you look at the electoral college vote, the old politics(aka back room cigar smoke deals) then YES. It will be interesting to see how he puts together his "machine"

Well on the other hand you have to give credit where credit is due and President Clinton quietly locked down (to ensure the) USA pre eminence and dominance as the world's coal exporter! He did this at the beginning of his 8 year presidency, So this has been going on for at least 16 years!!! Who are the major customers? aka the Kyoto signers?
 
Warren Buffet ( investor that he is) long ago bought BIG stakes in TRAINS (this is all common knowledge). How are trains and coal related? Far and away the BIGGEST train customers are the COAL industries, oil, gas and followed by the commodities such as grains, etc.... If it were left to the "heavier" duty manufacturing (washing machines, etc,) trains would have folded LONG ago. Train companies have long been on the public dole.

I don't think your link goes where you think it goes. No mention of Biden in that story.

All I see is a story about Iran emitting a lot of CO2 into the atmosphere

NO ! It is not a story tie in. Biden's concept was PRE election. The link is just an interesting likely example.

Sorry, I'm not following how a missile defense story ties in with autos and GW. My doc made me swear off afternoon coffee, so it's probably not going to get any clearer either.
