| Despite the gloomy predictions, Democratic Legislative leaders are going into this veto override session swinging. Tomorrow at 9:30 at the statehouse, leadership will be hosting Ned Raynolds, Northeast Climate Policy Coordinator for the Union of Concerned Scientists who, according to Senator Shumlin's office, will "share new scientific findings from the Northeast Climate Impacts Assessment Report (which is being released regionally on the 11th). Mr. Raynolds remarks will focus on the consequences for different sectors of the Vermont economy under two global warming emissions scenarios." The presentation will take place in the Cedar Creek Room, if you're interested. With top McCain campaign advisors Terry Nelson and John Weaver (and now Deputy Campaign Manager Reed Galen and Political Director Rob Jesmer) joining the avalanche of staffers given the heave-ho of late, the former presumed frontrunner's operation is in freefall. No word on whether or not former Vermont GOP head Jim Barnett is among the casualties yet, but it's likely he won't last long regardless, given the fact that McCain has less money on hand than even dark-horse Republican candidate Ron Paul. Ouch. Think the neocons are on their way out? Not if Rudy Guiliani has anything to say about it. Neoconservative patriarch Norman Podhoretz has been tapped as a foreign policy advisor by Rudy's campaign. To get a flavor of the guy, here's his recent op-ed entitled The Case for Bombing Iran: I hope and pray that President Bush will do it. Swell. |
