That was a stroke of genius on McConnell's part.

"The climate bill's supporters include most Democrats and a handful of Republicans. Along with Boxer, the leading sponsors are Sens. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., and John Warner, R-Va. It has been the subject of Senate floor debate since Monday, but senators have done little more than talk so far."

When I read that Senator John Warner was a sponsor of the bill, I wondered why----------politically the answer is there, this is a throwaway for Senator Warner as he will be retiring.

This may also be a stroke of genius as Warner has forced the Dems to put their thoughts down on paper.
