..Obama leads Clinton 3 to 1!

From the Page.

Disgusted with the Clinton administration's environmental record, Friends of the Earth endorsed Bill Bradley (my preference) over Al Gore in 2000.  This endorsement certainly helps, but let's not equate it with that of Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, Al Gore, or even John Kerry.

I would hope, is in order.  As I wrote earlier today:

Until quite recently, those who focused primarily on energy and global warming issues could see reasons to be supporting Hillary Clinton and/or Barack Obama. In this arena, both have plans and records with strengths ... and weaknesses. Both could learn from each and strengthen their own programs. Thus, with real legitimacy, an "environmentalist", those concerned about Peak Oil or Global Warming or related issues, could easily defend their position supporting either / or of the candidates. And, again, their platforms/records are certainly light years ahead of this Administration's and of McSame McCain's, but have weaknesses and are 'reasonably good' but not the best that they could be. Thus, many of us were 'sitting on the sidelines' when it came to the Presidential campaign. Well, this has changed. The precipitating event: Hillary Clinton's determined foray into the Energy Dumb rankswith her vociferous and highly counter-productive calls for a gas tax moratorium.

Obama has been improving but he still, for example, uses the term "clean coal" and talks about coal as almost an inalienable part of America's future.  

Obama has shown growth, has shown strengthening in his energy / environmental / global warming positions over the past year.  We can't, however, pause and say 'hooray' for reasonably good. The situation is too dire, we must strive to help him make it better, to push it toward the best possible policy.
