Breaking: In Virginia gubernatorial debate, both Republican AND Democratic candidate speak of opposing cap and trade

McDonnell Presses Deeds on National Issues in First Va. Gubernatorial Debate - washingtonpost.com
[Republican McDonnell] said Virginia needs a governor who would resist congressional encroachment, citing "socialized medicine," "micromanaging AIG, GM and some other large businesses," the cap-and-trade proposal to limit greenhouse emissions and "card-check" legislation backed by labor, which would end secret balloting for workers deciding whether to join a union.
...
[Democrat] Deeds said he would oppose cap-and-trade legislation if it would result in higher energy costs during a recession, a position that could trouble environmentalists in his party.
