Presidential primary speculation

As December gives way to January, New Years Resolutions chatter has been upended by discussions about the leading presidential candidates, the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary.
There’s the intrigue generated by Huma Abedin, Senator Hillary Clinton’s supernatural presidential campaign’s “traveling chief of staff,” who was featured in the August issue of Vogue.
Then there’s the cell phone calls taken on stage by Rudy Giuliani from his third wife Judith, whom he met in 1999 at Club Macanudo, an Upper East Side cigar bar.
If you plan to vote in the 23-state February 5th super primary and you would like to choose a presidential candidate whose views and values align most closely with your own, visit the site http://www.glassbooth.org/.
From a climate change perspective, keep in mind that only three candidates participated in the first ever-global warming debates in November: Hillary Clinton, John Edwards and Dennis Kucinich.
Thursday January 3rd (the same day as the Iowa Caucus) presents an opportunity for New Canaan drivers to learn about modern roundabout design as an alternative to traffic signals. Part I of an Interactive Web Seminar will take place from noon to 1:30 p.m. in the Board Room of Town Hall (2nd floor).
And at 10 a.m. (after a 9:30 a.m. coffee) on January 8th (the same day as the New Hampshire primary) George Hawkins will give a must see presentation at Darien Community Association 274 Middlesex Road entitled Cowboys, Spacemen and a Theory of Almost Everything: How Responding to Global Warming Connects to Traffic Jams, Housing Prices, Property Taxes and the Flood in My Creek.
Mr. Hawkins is a 1983 summa cum laude graduate of Princeton University and Harvard Law School. Currently Mr. Hawkins is Director of the District (of Columbia) Department of Environment (http://ddoe.dc.gov/ddoe/site/default.asp?ddoeNav=|31003|)
When I met Mr. Hawkins a few years ago at a New Partners for Smart Growth conference in Miami, Florida he was serving as Executive Director of New Jersey Future (http://www.njfuture.org/), a smart growth non-profit advocacy organization.
Prior to that he was executive director of Stony Brook Millstone Watershed Association. Since 1999, he has been a visiting lecturer at the Woodrow Wilson School for Public and International Affairs at Princeton University, where he teaches environmental law and policy for the Princeton Environmental Institute.
Happy New Year! Let’s keep it green.
