Trading positions on trade...

...seems to be a trademark of the Edwards campaign. Sandeep Kaushik has been keeping track for awhile now, and his latest piece in the Seattle Stranger is worth your attention.

When Kaushik quizzed Edwards about NAFTA in June of 2003, his view seemed to be that of a fairly conventional 'mend it, don't end it' free trader.

"His first instinct was to duck. He wasn't in the Senate when NAFTA passed, he said. I waited. Then he said he supported NAFTA, but thought it would benefit from some modifications."

That's downright, well, Kerryesque, isn't it. But things have changed...

"...in recent weeks, as part of his populist shtick, Edwards has been running around blasting NAFTA and slamming John Kerry as a bloodless elitist for supporting it. So Edwards is an anti-NAFTA populist after all. Except then I read in the New York Times that no, he is pro-NAFTA. Except in places where people don't like it. "NAFTA is important," but Edwards also has a "personal response" to the agreement, having seen his dad's mill close. So his big difference with Kerry on NAFTA turns out to be that when it comes to workers, he feels their pain more."

I have a personal response to candidates who try to have it both ways on a single question, myself...

Aw, this was an incredibly good post. Spending some time and actual effort to generate a top notch article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a lot
and don't seem to get nearly anything done.
