...smart candidate makes the case on global warming in the right way, however, it could indeed emerge as one of the defining issues of 2008. And that's by shifting the focus from something Americans care about shallowly (the environment) to something they care about deeply (the economy). There are billions to be made and jobs to be created out of a more efficient, greener economy, and a platform that emphasizes those positive possibilities would resonate with anyone, not just environmentalists...
...about dying polar bears. Instead it's about job creation, about responding positively to the climate challenge, about turning California into a center of green innovation. That rhetoric has helped give Schwarzenegger's climate policies broad bipartisan support - and if a Presidential candidate, Democrat or Republican, is smart enough to sound like him, 2008 could still be the climate election...
...recent Gallup poll. Overseas, he has taken America to historic lows among poll respondents around the world. The war in Iraq, the rise of China and perceived American unilateralism have diminished U.S. global influence to its lowest level since the Cold War. But in all that bad news, smart foreigners see an opportunity - and that explains why the President finds himself on the receiving end of so much attention from abroad this week...
...Clinton could be found ambling along a spectacular bluff overlooking the Mississippi River in a town called Clinton, Iowa, with former Vice President Walter Mondale, a ghost of Democratic disasters past.

But her plans on the big domestic-policy issues - health care and energy - have been courageous and detailed, more sophisticated than her opponents' - and very, very smart politically. Just before our interview, Clinton gave a speech launching her energy-independence proposal. It would drastically reduce greenhouse-gas emissions by auctioning off permits to pollute and is similar to Obama's - but Obama has added a fillip of honesty by telling his audiences that the program might result...
