"A moderate by definition is one of three things; somebody who sits around and waits for a majority to form and then joins it, a conservative who is pro-choice, or a liberal."

- Kulongoski vs. Saxton On Global Warming: Kulongoski Considers a Major Issue. Saxton agrees that global warming is a problem and that the Bush administration has not done enough to address it. And he says he has a "strong bias" toward encouraging renewable energy. "I'm just skeptical, maybe is the word, of the appropriateness of the state stepping in and adopting its own standards," says Saxton, who adds that he would rather focus on improving education and the cost-effective delivery of other government services. [As usual the difference between them is? Very little. And besides repeating the education mantra is deemed the way to win a campaign, right?]
