McCain scores in Iowa

News item: Ames, Ia. - Presidential candidate John McCain told biofuel proponents here Monday night that he opposes government subsidies on ethanol the same way he opposes subsidies on other products, including oil. --The Des Moines Register

What's remarkable about John McCain's statement is that he went into Ames Iowa to say it. Getting it right in the middle of people praying to hear the other answer takes a lot of guts. John McCain gets a point for being right. Meanwhile, Chris Dodd at the same confab couldn't resist mentioning global warming and talking up a carbon tax. I was tempted to deduct a point for that, but it's not exceptionally bright or stupid to talk about such things if you are a democrat.

Tally: (Dodd 1, McCain 1)
