CBS News has been running an interesting series called "Primary Questions." They ask the candidates a variety of policy and personal questions. Sometimes this format seems closer to what we’d like from a debate in terms of clarifying policy differences.

Monday night, I am going to the book Launch for the latest Newt Gingrich book. A Contract with the Earth. I think this is a big deal. Once Newt takes a position, it becomes part of the mainstream in the GOP. Not in the sense that people will start to agree with you. But instead […]
I woke up this morning, and started checking my email. The first hint was a message from a Polish friend in Brussels. Al Gore had won the Nobel Peace Prize. My friend now thinks that Al Gore has a lock on the primary and general now. I responded that that was an over-reaction. But what […]

More specifically, when deeply held beliefs begin to come into conflict with the increasingly interest group […]
Normally, I don’t go so policy-oriented on people, but I think that there is an important point to be made here. Today Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman John Dingell wrote:
A carbon tax or fee has been endorsed by President Bush’s former chief economic adviser, Greg Mankiw; Nobel Prize-winning conservative economist Gary Becker; the chief executive […]
This is the sort of thing that the conservative blogosphere won’t understand. John McCain is foregrounding his support for global warming. Today, Senator Susan Collins, a moderate Republican from neighboring Maine, penned a piece for the Portsmouth Herald on global warming, praising McCain. Check this out:
McCain partnered with Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut to introduce […]
John Edwards: He also said the United States should ban the construction of new coal-fired power plants. There are some good swing swing states on that list…

This post emerges from some a number of sources including some recent polls and articles that I will reference, some discussions with conservatives in other countries, and Rob Bluey’s recent blogger lunch on the topic.
Let me start with a summary of where the GOP candidates are on the issue.
As many know, John McCain and Rudy […]
