The League of Conservation Voters released their report for the Presidential Primary Candidates. All Democrats received favorable reviews. Only one Repuke, John McCain is acceptable.

EDIT to add: Click on the "chart the candidates" -- it shows side by side their positions on each of the issues.

3. Weird, politicians used to at least pretend to care...

Now we have an entire party that can't make it any clearer they don't care if the planet lives or dies. It's strange how our democracy has come down to a struggle of good vs evil, and that evil actually has people support their side. Truly baffling.

4. For me? Poorly.

Obama's the only one of the top three who mentions anything other than climate change on his website. :shrug:
