Planet Gore on National Review Online
As some matters are off-the-record, please allow me to just say that a European legislator has read a McCain advisor chapter-and-verse on what carbon cap-and-trade has meant to the Euros’ economy, in front of about a hundred activists, imploring her to talk some sense into the candidate and campaign on this one. Larry Kudlow has tried to do likewise quite publicly — as economic adult Phil Gramm has privately, I’m fairly certain — among other McCain insiders.
My colleague’s description at the time of the lady’s response to the plea said it all: “nodding, ashamedly.”
It was pretty clear she gets it. And I know this is politics. But that’s not a universal excuse for doing any old thing one feels like doing. My advice to this campaign remains what I’ve said all along: No one thinks you can reverse course on this, but — for heaven’s sake — stop digging.
