Via GeeEminem<\/a>, Kudlow notes that Mac seems to have abandoned<\/a> his support for “Cap and Trade”.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After writing favorably<\/a> about Sen. McCain\u2019s recent economics speeches, where he clearly shifted toward the supply-side both on tax cuts and producing more energy, I went back last evening and carefully read his 15-page policy pamphlet called \u201cJobs for America<\/a>.\u201d Here\u2019s what I found: There is no mention of cap-and-trade. None. Nada. There is a section about \u201cCheap, Clean, Secure Energy for America: The Lexington Project.\u201d But that talks about expanded domestic production of oil and gas, as well as the need for more nuclear power and coal along with alternative sources. Then it has the $300 million battery and flex-fuel cars. But nope, no cap-and-trade.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Watch for a giggly article from Steve Perry about his “flip flop”.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This the kind of “flip flop” I can get behind.<\/p>\n

L-Kud:<\/p>\n

So then I asked this senior official if the campaign has taken cap-and-trade out behind the barn and shot it dead once and for all \u2014 buried it in history\u2019s dustbin of bad ideas. The answer came back that they are interested in jobs right now \u2014 jobs for new energy production and jobs from lower taxes. At that point I became satisfied. Even though a McCain presidency might resurrect cap-and-trade, it will be a much different format. More important, the campaign is cognizant of the conservative rebellion against it.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s enough for me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n
