CAFE leaders: Republicans or Democrats?

Aren't Democrats the ones making CAFE and global warming a platform?

Michigan's U.S. Rep. John Dingell, the House Energy and Commerce Committee chairmen who was irate with Nancy Pelosi and her global warming committee creation is now irked at Bush for increasing CAFE.

According to the DetroitNews "Dingell asked that key documents used to create the proposed changes to the Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards for cars and trucks be turned over by Feb. 1." Dingel wrote that he needed the White House to "provide us with all analysis and documentation prepared by the National Economic Council supporting the president's energy proposal."

Nancy Pelosi and some liberal Democrats have proposed far more dramatic CAFE changes, yet now Bush is too environmental for some ranking Democrats? Never thought I'd see the day when Bush, the oil man, was too much of an environmentalist for important Democrats.

Will environmentalists be as tough on Dingell and similar Democrats as they've been on Bush, or is partisanship more important than solutions?
