...Republicans had reason to want the debate over as well. They had managed to line up in a circular firing squad, since a number of G.O.P. senators, including Mel Martinez of Florida, Elizabeth Dole of North Carolina, and the party's standard-bearer, John McCain, support the cap-and-trade approach if not this bill in all its details.

After all, even a month and half before the Democratic primaries kicked off, Hillary was leading in South Carolina and in 24 of 25 Super Tuesday states. Nevertheless, we’re now in June and there is a lot of mileage on this campaign. People really know Obama, Hillary, and McCain, and a case can be made that the general election will never reach the intensity of the primaries...
