Is hard to point to a clear difference in policy.
Of course, George W. Bush said he supported Kyoto when he was
campaigning for his first term, and reversed that instantly after he
was sworn in.
Now we have a Vice Presidential candidate on record with:
"A changing environment will affect Alaska more than any other state,
because of our location," she said. "I'm not one though who would
attribute it to being man-made."
The Republicans seem to need a denier on the ticket to energize their
base.
