Change for Dems, too
Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., is fighting for his chairmanship of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., wants to take over the committee. Dingell, who represents Detroit's auto industry — making him an SUV in the new Prius world of energy — is opposed by environmentalists who don't think MoTown congressman's does enough for energy conservation. Utah's blue-dog Dem Rep. Jim Matheson, whose track record on land/energy issues hasn't exactly charmed environmentalists either, is working hard to defend Dingell. The tight rope Matheson walks between his conservative Utah district and a Congress that has turned sharply left is going to become a high-wire act worthy of Barnum and Bailey.
