Watching the Schwarzenegger endorsement just now, apparently the GOP has just become the party of global warming. Nothing much else is being discussed -- oh, except for the Governator's endorsement.

Even Rudy, who's there, used his time at the podium to talk about it.

Given that the event is being held at a solar-power plant, maybe this isn't a surprise. Maybe it's merely a play to California Republicans. But McCain's global-warming stance, although never exactly hidden, was always in the background. Not anymore.

Is the lurch-to-the-right stage of the Republican primary already over?
