I didn't think much of the opinion piece by Cockburn. Clinton's
environmental track record hasn't been stellar, but I don't think he has
been as bad as that piece makes him out to be. And if he is elected to a
second term, there will be less need for him to compromise tough issues
with an eye on the polls and next election.

But we should all work to make the environment a motherhood issue,
something that all parties see as important. If we can agree that
protecting the environment is good, then the arguments are about how best
to achieve desired goals.
