Edwards is the absolute best, with obama next (he still favors liquified coal), but Hillary just offers the same solutions her corporate coal investor backers want to see. Is she really going to stand up to Citi when the time comes and say, no more coal plants? I doubt it.

Clinton/McCain in '08!! McCain ought to admit he’s not really a Republican and join up with Ms. Clinton for a real winning ticket.

Clinton/McCain in ‘08!!

I'd like this press release to be correct. Maybe I'm missing something from my perch in Canada, but it sure looks like i) NH largely likes McCain for his independent style (of which his climate change stance is admittedly a part), ii) the difference b/w the Democrats on climate change is tiny compared to their difference on other issues, and iii) if you were comparing the Democrat policies and their time devoted to the issue of climate change, I don't think you'd pick Clinton, but Obama, Edwards or Richarson.
