Coal Industry Sponsoring Tonight’s CNN/YouTube GOP Presidential Debate

thinkprogress.org — Tonight at 8 pm EST, CNN will air a GOP debate, live from St. Petersburg, FL. A full-page advertisement in today's Washington Post states that the debate is being sponsored by the "clean coal" industry. Sponsorship of tonight’s debate appears aimed at influencing Florida Gov. Charlie Crist (R), who is leading a "crusade against coal." Nov 28, 2007 View in Crawl 4
