I agree... focusing something as critical and long-term as energy policy on Bush/Cheney is counterproductive.  They're lame ducks... nearly crippled now, and will be gone with no heirs in a few years.  If you want to claim sustainable energy policy as a Democratic platform, you need to go after Republicans in general with it, not just Bush.

And it also means Democrats need to get out of the gasohol subsidy ghetto and find some REAL long-term sustainable alternatives.
