I assume when he says he would "ask" Americans to sacrifice he means he would "force" them to. After all you don't need to be president to ask.

Americans should "sacrifice their SUV's"? On what? A funeral pyre?
Seriously -- how many people can afford to change the car they drive just like that? Will Edwards himself be buying them a new vehicle, a la "Hybrids for Hummers" exchange program?

I wonder what level of emissions it takes to heat and cool that 28,000 square foot house of his. And I wonder how many auto workers he'll put on the streets with his (ahem) request of the American people.

edwards' natural progression to nader is the Frank Burns stage which he seems to be stalled on for many years now.
