Scratch another GOP Prez candidate

And watch another hypocrite surface?

Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, touted by many media pundits as a possible "mainstream conservative" 2012 Presidential candidate, has suddenly fallen in love with a coal-gasification plant that his own state's natural-gas utility commission rejected.

Wait. We have a conservative GOP governor, from a party with a lot of global warming denialists, that won't support cap-and-trade, let alone carbon taxes, which means coal gasification is hugely unfeasible economically, and he does this?

Oh, and isn't guaranteeing the gas will be bought at a prince of $3 per million BTU over current rates for natural gas ... uhh, isn't that socialism?
