1. Cap and Trade. Decentralize.

I like what I hear, those are the ideas I listen for. He's properly linked purpose to energy and security as well, but this focus is implementation.

The harder part is to gauge just how deeply the commitment is to the plan.

The energy lobby will fight the change, collecting on excess emissions will be a battle in its own right, and while the American people may be patriotic enough to pick the right diet, staying on that diet is not going to be easy.

Edwards says the right things with understanding and sincerity. But of the announced, Richardson has me the most convinced that he will be able to wrestle this bear.
