Pretty good scores in most instances. Somehow I can't picture Bush getting 100% from the Sierra Club. Indeed, as hard as they campaigned against Bush, the seem to have seen a difference as well.

I know one of the issues that got him the Lt Gov job in Mass.

I agree that he doesn't need to show his chops on this issue for "fundraising" purposes. Folks who know his record already know he's an accomplished environmentalist.
