RCP’s Tom Bevan notes the unusual agreement between New York Times columnist Bob Herbert and National Review (syndicated) columnist Rich Lowry that Barack Obama’s has been lurching for more centrist poses with what herbert calls “the kind of reckless abandon that’s guaranteed to cause disillusion, if not whiplash.” Bevan observes that this crossfire is either proof that Obama is hitting the political bulls-eye, or a warning sign that he is damaging his

Commenter Rob B. asks me to comment on this, but I’m kind of busy. The two major elements seem from my skim to be 1) utilization of wind, 2) natural gas for autos.
