The Washington Post reports on the incoherency of John McCain's positions on environmental issues. For example, when it comes to drilling for oil off the shores of California or Florida, he is a federalist. When it comes to drilling in Alaska, he opposes it as though it was drilling in the Grand Canyon or the Everglades (though the latter is in Florida, last I checked). Except if it is attached to a must-pass defense spending bill, in which case he reluctantly votes for drilling in the ANWR.

Under the headline, "A Mixed Environmental Record" the WaPo looks at the Old Farts green history. One thing stands out. The mixed record is usually a matter of talking support for the environment and voting the Republican Party line. No doubt his lobbyists will be able to come up with catchy names for his more of the same.

Can be fooled again? Vote McCain. Fortunately, voters seem smarter than that and 7 years of Bush and all that Rove spin has wised up a lot of us. A new Gallup poll shows clearly that McCain's relationship with Bush and with all that Bush stands for and all that he has helped Bush "accomplish," will keep him out of the White House .

They are still waiting to see whether he will vote in favor of Lieberman's latest climate bill, which is headed to the Senate next month. The article seems to have run in preparation for a speech on environmental policy that McCain is giving today. Here is a preview .

Mr McCain's record on energy and the environment is decidedly mixed . Writing for the New Republic , Bradford Plumer says "it's hard to shake the feeling that McCain may have been more interested in using global warming to burnish his maverick reputation than in passing legislation." The candidate recently missed two votes on Democratic bills aimed at boosting renewable energy sources and efficiency, both of which failed by one vote. Part of this perception, however, is fueled by Mr McCain's enthusiasm for nuclear energy and his disdain for regulation and public spending.
