Republicans use 'war on coal' charge to tarnish Dems ahead of elections

Foes
of President Obama's alleged "war on coal" climate plan are hoping to
use the combustible issue to tarnish Democrats in the next round of
elections.
The
political backlash started almost immediately after the president
announced last week he's ordering the EPA to draft new rules to limit
emissions at coal-fired power plants.
In
Virginia, it didn't take long for Republican gubernatorial candidate
Ken Cuccinelli to label the plan the "Obama-Biden-McAuliffe war on
coal," in his race for governor against former Democratic Party chairman
Terry McAuliffe.
