...last week, McCain announced he would bring most of the troops in Iraq home by 2013. During the Florida primary, however, he chided Gov. Mitt Romney for saying the President and his generals should have private “timetables” to measure progress. Romney didn’t offer a public date for withdrawal, yet McCain accused him of wanting to “wave the white flag.” So what’s he doing...
This year, both Clinton and Obama released strong climate proposals that build on the cap-and-trade idea. But as McCain girded for primary battles against skeptics like Mitt Romney, he throttled back his leadership on the issue, missing every environmental vote of the year. Lieberman teamed up with Virginia Republican John Warner to produce a bill that is more detailed and ambitious than the ones Lieberman and McCain worked on.

(In many ways their conflicting messages mirror John McCain and Mitt Romney's blue-collar jobs debate in the run-up to the Michigan primary earlier this year.) Then, in the next breath, the hedging starts. Obama informs his audiences that some jobs can certainly be brought back, while Clinton cautions that, of course, not all jobs can be recreated. From that point on, their riffs run parallel. The two support cutting subsidies to companies that...
