Supporting a cap-and-trade approach to greenhouse gas regulation is basically taboo in the GOP these days, but most of the top-tier Republican presidential contenders have backed it in the past.
Politifact deemed Sarah Palin to have flip-flopped on cap-and-trade, but it’s a bit more complicated — she began to supported it as McCain’s runningmate. VP candidates generally adopt the presidential candidate’s platform when tapped to join a ticket, though Palin continued to differ with McCain on other matters….
Palin could stand out as the only Republican who consistently polls in the top five who hasn’t flip-flopped on cap-and-trade, if voters grant that her 2008 support was a product of her presence on the McCain ticket.
