The Daily McBush #8 - McCain's $300 million challenge
Only John McCain could dumb down an idea from George Bush. Bush proposes additional funding for research on car batteries; McCain says screw the research, just offer a $300 million prize to whoever develops one first.
USA Today actually did a little reporting on McCain's proposal and tracked down a company which says it will have such a batter on the market next year. I wonder who they are voting for. I've also heard some talk about an new lithium-ion battery from Toshiba. What about you? Got any $300 million ideas?
