Senator and presidential hopeful Barack Obama traded his Chrysler 300C for a more eco-friendly Ford Escape hybrid, joining the ranks of democratic candidates with hybrids in their garages.

In May, Obama criticized U.S. automakers for not anticipating the effects of increasing oil prices. Shortly afterwards, it was revealed that he drove a 300C with a Hemi, according to The Detroit Free Press. Obama quickly traded his 300C for an Escape hybrid.

Other hybrid-owning candidates include John Edwards, Senators Christopher Dodd and Hillary Rodham Clinton, and Governors Mitt Romney and Bill Richardson.
