The talk turns to trade among primary candidates

FROM DENNIS Kucinich’s call for canceling
U.S. participation in NAFTA and the WTO to
other Democratic candidates calls for reviews of
all U.S. trade agreements, Democratic
presidential primary candidates are expounding
the issue of foreign trade on the campaign trail.
Several candidates, including Retired U.S. Army
Gen. Wesley Clark and U.S. Sen. John F. Kerry
of Massachusetts have said they would order an
immediate review of all existing U.S. trade
agreements upon coming into office.

“The biggest trade issue is the disappearance of American manufacturing jobs because
NAFTA and the WTO failed to take into consideration global worker rights. They just
globalized corporations’ rights,” former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean said in a telephone
interview.

Kucinich has taken perhaps the most radical stance among the major Democratic
candidates. He’d immediately withdraw from the North American Free Trade
Agreement and the World Trade Organization.

Fairly balanced article with info from ALL primary candidates (excepting Sharpton/Mosely-Braun). Good to see the Dem candidates views represented without attacks, misquotes, fawning statements of the GOP, etc. And all of them sound better than what we've got now.
