Senate Hopeful Fiorina Proposes Suspending AB32

Following CA Gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman's lead, Carly Fiorina, the former HP exec who hopes to replace Barbara Boxer in the U.S. Senate, has come out in oppositon to AB32, the Sac Bee reports. Its strange to see these leading Republicans advocate the overturning of a law that has come to define Gov. Schwarzenegger and is viewed in some circles as his crowning achievement. When Schwarzenegger signed the bill, he was in the midst of a difficult re-election fight, with all the unions ganging up against him. His support of the bill was deemed critical to the re-elect. Has the politics of climate change changed so much in just a few years (see yesterday's post), or are these women with fairly weak conservative credentials pandering to primary voters?
