That's the way I heard it, too, except that Libya made sure that no other African nation would make a bid for the nomination and that they would vote for Libya. Either way, it does seem a curious thing, strange bedfellows and all that. NPR did quite a bit on how Ghadafi has been "mending" bridges throughout the world, including with China, Great Britain, France, etc.

Thanks, Greg.

I really was more interested in finding info on the big business pollution pledges if anyone can help on that?
