Last Friday, the League of Conservation Voters released their 2008 annual environmental scorecard, which shows how Congressional members voted on key energy and environmental issues. Both presidential candidates, Barack Obama and John McCain, both scored low ratings on this report.
Politico reported that Sen. Barack Obama only voted pro-environment 18 percent of the time in 2008, dropping considerably from its 67% percent rating last year. Sen. John McCain scored a dismal zero because he missed every environmental vote (note: no vote = negative vote). No surprise to many greenies, this is Mac’s second year with the league’s lowest ratings.
