Despite positions that vary little from Hillary Clinton on the big energy and environment issues, Barack Obama suddenly appears not only to be the overall Democratic frontrunner, but also the leader in the effort to attract green voters. Over the past few weeks, the Obama campaign has added an entire new section to their Web site called "Environmentalists for Obama", which includes a semi-regurarly-updated blog discussing Obama's environmental initiatives and speeches. The site also includes a letter of support signed by a who's who of environmental leaders and activists, including Bill McKibben, Nature Conservency Director Roger Milliken, former Senator Gary Hart and dozens of others. "While it is true that all the leading Democratic candidates have expressed strong and similar environmental platforms, we believe that only Senator Obama has demonstrated the ability to work across the aisle and forge the broad coalitions necessary for real change," the letter reads. It later cites Obama's work on legislation to strengthen CAFE standards and his support of "an aggressive cap and trade program that harnesses the forces of the market and auctions 100% of the permits to fund energy efficiency, clean technology, and to protect low income Americans from rising energy prices." Meanwhile, the Obama environment "blog" contains only four new posts from the past month, the most recent from last Friday when Obama was touting green jobs while campaigning in Seattle. Nothing too earth-shattering, but it's certainly more than the what the Clinton campaign is offering at the moment. In fact, Google "environmentalists for Clinton" and you get less than 494 hits, many referencing Bill. The same phrase for Obama gets more than 3,500 hits. Clinton just can't win anything this week.

Yeah, OK, we can be the change that we want to see in the world. But unless powerful people in powerful positions want to be that change as well, nothing's going to change.
So now, finally, there's a place where you can go for news and analysis of politics from an environmental perspective.
