One of the “totally randomly selected citizen” questions during tonight’s debate was about the environment and conveniently came from Lisa Guthrie, Executive Director of the Virginia League of Conservation Voters. This organization, of which Ms. Guthrie is a professional lobbyist, endorsed Creigh Deeds.
I joked during the live-blog that this question – whether one believes in the science of global warming – was straight from the Sierra Club. I didn’t realized how right I was.
Regardless, McDonnell handled the question very well by turning it into a discussion about our need to use our own natural resources in Virginia to supply our energy needs.
Guthrie is quoted extensively praising Deeds in this article in the Daily Press.
