1. Clinton?? - Like anyone would ever know if she is for or against it

[cuke]

2. She is for it

and against the other upcoming FTA's

9. I heard we was for it before she was against it, but is leaving her options open.

10. Which one of the voices in your head said that?

because it didn't happen in the real world

3. Good for Biden!

Edwards has already voiced his disapproval of this agreement. I posted that yesterday. Thanks for this good news.

4. Clinton-for, Dodd-against, Edwards-against. nt

7. I was wondering about Dodd - and figured that he would come out against it.

5. Maybe we can at least get the candidates to get those fair trade amendments

in there.

C'mon y'all, throw us a bone.

11. Good for Biden (and Edwards) for opposing.....

this.

Some Biden info:

"Biden maintains 100 percent ratings from Planned Parenthood, the League of Conservation Voters, Americans United for Separation of Church and State, Citizens for Tax Justice, the Children's Defense Fund and the NAACP; and 93 percent from the AFL-CIO."

12. Really? I didn't know that.

I knew that he has a liberal rating, but not that good.

Do you have a link?

[ShortnFiery]

13. I'd like to know Biden's full rationale for being against this?

Especially in light of his "Yea Bankruptcy Bill" vote that will dog him for the rest of his political life. :shrug:
