Reply #12: Don't spin this, AP [View All]

From a later post in this thread, referring to the article:

"Mr. Edwards described his views on trade as 'a tick away' from those of the Democratic Leadership Council, a moderate group that has been a champion of free trade, and of former President Bill Clinton, who signed NAFTA in 1993."

You can't spin this away. Despite Edwards' rhetoric, his position is virtually the same as Kerry's -- status quo all the way. Nibbling around the edges rather than being bold and going after the root cause of the problem.

Then again, both of them are successful politicians, and that is what most successful politicians do -- nibble around the edges of the problem and represent the status quo.
