Looking Ahead to '08
Environmental activists are already declaring victory in changing the environmental policies of some of the candidates in the 2008 Presidential race. The election is over a year away, but they say now is the perfect time to hold candidates' feet to the fire on global warming.
Host Daphne Wysham holds a round table discussion of the all the people running, and thinking of running in the upcoming Presidential race. Joining her on the telephone from Seattle, Washington is David Roberts, a staff writer for the online magazine Grist. In the WPFW studios in Washington, DC is the director of Greenpeace's US Global Warming Campaign, Chris Miller - Cathy Duvall, political director for the Sierra Club - and David Sandretti, communications director for the League of Conservation Voters.
