President
Although I started my research focused on how the candidates would fare if I examined them only on global warming, I came to the conclusion that ultimately this race came down to one word: leadership. We need leadership to get out of Iraq. We need leadership to solve global warming. We need leadership to solve our domestic issues such as health care.
The evidence I found was both clear and consistent. Throughout this campaign, Edwards consistently demonstrated the strong leadership skills our country needs. The other two top contenders did not.
It wasn’t even close. I was shocked when I looked at the record. I found that Clinton and Obama have, in general, refused to take strong positions on the top issues, they have been followers on the top issues, they have failed to express their opinions on the top issues facing our country, they have not asked others to follow them, and they both have voted opposite to the positions that they articulate.
You’ll see many clear examples of all of this in the full analysis. It is evidence that is hard to ignore. One of the canidates wants to fight global warming, but pushes legislation that makes the problem worse.
