Editorials over the weekend from Michigan offer hope for the environment.
First, the Detroit News went for "none of the above" in the Presidential race. That's almost as good as a Kerry endorsement. As the editorial says, "we have never endorsed a Democrat for president, and only failed to endorse twice before, both times during the Franklin Roosevelt years." Admittedly, the News then goes on to blast Kerry for "hostility" to the auto industry on environmental grounds. I'd call it "tough love," an attempt to wake the industry up to global imperatives.

Second, the Lansing State Journal endorsed long-shot challenger Bob Alexander against GOP incumbent Mike Rogers, who has one of the most anti-environmental voting records in Congress. Saints be praised!
