...heir-apparent to the Republican presidential nomination in 1960, Nixon has based his strength on the confidence placed in him by Eisenhower. Republican conservatives who even three years ago saw Nixon as their advocate in the White House are now forced to recognize his loyalty to the “modern Republican” line emanating from Pennsylvania Avenue...
...Nixon will need acute political judgment to sense the strength of the conservative resurgence. It is conceivable that the Administration’s loss of national popularity, coupled with out-spoken campaign tactics by its Republican critics, will throw the balance of power to the Old Guard at the 1960 convention. Though this possibility seems remote at present, too close an identification with a waning political force such as Eisenhower could hurt Nixon’s presidential chances.

Some key Senators won't even make Monday's vote, including Republican presidential nominee John McCain, who is skipping the debate despite having made strong action on climate change a key part of his pitch to Independents. (Let's not single out McCain - reportedly Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton may miss the vote as well.) The bill, as climate blogger Joseph...
