The very last para gave me a chuckle. Talking about climate is a winning issue? At the moment climate change is way down the list of priorities for the American voter. Also, if the republican stance is, at the very least, that we can do nothing about climate change why would they appoint a climate change supporter?
But by all means kentay have your candidates run on a platform of higher gas prices, electric bills and then go to WV and tell them they will close more coal plants.
