Considering how Clinton rushed NAFTA through Congress during his first year in office, it's unlikely anyone will take this seriously.

My advice is to stop catering to immigrants, gun control kooks, and animal rights nuts.

On the homefront, Democrats are talking about how to reconnect with rural
voters.
It's an important conversation, as much about the decline in the party's
fortunes
can be traced to the fact that people who live in small towns provided
President
Bush with overwhelming support in 2004.
As John Nichols writes in The Online Beat, "If Democrats want to improve their
fortunes in the elections of 2006 and 2008, they should learn to speak once
more
for the interests of rural Americans. And the best place to start doing so is
by
challenging the pro-free trade, pro-corporate agribusiness policies of new
Bush
nominee Mike Johanns--and by speaking, bluntly, about the threat those
policies
pose to working farmers and rural America."
