In case your interested,
Grist.org interviewed Hillary Clinton, discussing her commitment to the environment. This should generate a ton of comments...well, maybe not.
This leads to my real point. Where does the
environment rank as to importance in the 2008 presidential race?

Being the poll was conducted by two left-leaning organizations, still, global warming is just not on the fore-front of peoples mind, regardless of all of Al Gore's attempts at trying to make it one.
We still got plenty of time before sea level rise, increased hurricane activity and really hot temperatures have a detrimental effect on society. It's all good!
