I love the Saddam and farmer Bob comparison. Just priceless. I consider Edwards a more dangerous snake than Kerry, Kerry may talk tough on trade but he is not Smoot-Hawley type of protectionist. Edwards on the other hand seems much closer to the Smoot-Hawley type of protectionism that brought brought us the great depression. If Edwards win in Nov 04, I am going to sell short the stock market, I bet we will see dow 5000 and Nasdaq 750 if Edwards' type of protectionism becomes the trade policy of this country. God help us then.

I agree with the first. However, due to problems with getting the timing right, I would never short stock. Check out A Random Walk Down Wall Street

If you aspire to sew Fruit of the Loom underwear for a living here in the USA, John Edwards is your man. He'll fight to keep crappy jobs right here at home.
