Former New Hampshire Gov. Jeanne Shaheen, who is vying for Sen. John Sununu's seat in what is expected to be one of the more competitive races next year, had this to say at a luncheon Sunday, as reported by Foster's Daily Democrat:
"These wildfires are a direct result of this
administration's failure to do something about global warming,"
Shaheen said with passion and to applause as the microphone cut out
on her.
These are the type of over-the-top statements, so detatched from
any sort of scientific consensus, that actually make it less likely
that people will see global warming as a serious threat--a moral
cause--rather than just another political issue.
And if this is indicative of Shaheen's verbal acuity, perhaps Sununu's seat isn't in danger afterall.
