Politico reports a half-dozen or so “moderate” Democratic senators (how anyone who voted for HarryCare can be considered moderate is a puzzle, but I digress) have urged the White House to drop plans for any bill in the 2010 election year capping greenhouse-gas emissions.

Senators cited the tough time House members in swing districts who voted for cap-and-trade got from constituents when the lawmakers went home for summer recess.

Nowhere does Politico mention the added impact Climaquiddick might be having on voter sentiment regarding cap-and-tax.
