Fission is already getting improved support, ALL YEAR, thru the campaign

Dunno. I think the "alternative energy" pablum can be ridden a good long way.

Duane. Solar, wind, alternative liquid fuels aren't enough.
Fission will play a role, Gore said it, Obama said it Clinton said it, McCain said it, Bush said it.
Dunno is right, you dont know. SO let me tell you, all of those people advocate a continuing role for nuclear power generation going forward 20 yrs.
Maybe if you put aside your infantile political bias for one second, you would be capable of actually assimilating some accurate information.
I am by far the most politically involved member here, I work in campaigns. Last year I ran a campaign for 3 School Board candidates and flipped all 3 seats. I was paid $1000 per week. A grand a week for a School Board race.......
I spent 3 days in NH on my own dime, the weekend before the primary. I watched the first half of the Steelers game with Tom Ridge, I had a beer with Chris Shays.
I organize fundraisers, my next event is expected to gross 15 to 20k for a congressional candidate.
Yesterday I just walked into NJ Senator Menedez's office unannounced, and got 5 minutes of face time with his Director of Constituent Services, in front of the other 8 people that were already waiting in the lobby.
I am a member of my towns Democratic Committee, district leader in fact, an elected office. I am a member of my county's Democratic Committee.
I exercise the restraint required to not inflict my political views on this board. Although this is the general discussion section, and the rules are looser here, slapping other talk-polywell members in the face with your political views is not playing nice in the sand box.
If I can sit down and have a beer with Tom Ridge and Chris Shays, and have a civil discussion with men I consider to be extreme ring wingers......
Then I can ask the same of you.
