Oh-eight (D): Trade fight!

CLINTON: Any doubt that the Democratic primary campaign is taking a toll on Clinton's free trade tendencies? She's apparently not decided yet on whether to vote for a free trade agreement with Peru. Obama is for the agreement; Edwards is against.

Clinton’s big labor get? AFSCME just sent out a release saying that it will make a “major political announcement” in DC at 1:30 pm ET. Looks like Clinton will pick up the union’s endorsement…

Clinton is up in a new New Hampshire poll over Obama and Edwards, 40%-22%-13%.

EDWARDS: The Raleigh News & Observer looks at the Edwards ground game and how he's having to rely more on volunteers than paid staffers.

Ahhh..AFSCME...the same union that jumped on the Dean Bandwagon 4 years ago. Their endorsement seems to be nothing more than a validation of who is leading in the polls at the time. But as they showed with Dean, their ability to help their candidate is pretty limited. A lot of their rank and file probably won't support the flip-flopper in chief, Hillary.

Staggering the amount of people who do not understand Washington self serving paper hangers. The same people who b!tch about tax's and the conjecture the demo's keep putting out!

This election has no leadership to fill the position of President. America again will be forced to elect another Paper hanger , which idiot will you have to choose?

Not surprising, Hillary has not decided which side of the fence she is on, she will have to wait until mark Penn tells her what side she should be on.

If all these union people are for Edwards, they had best better get going.

Hillary is a control freak hidden behind her self serving agenda's. It does not take a lame brain to see her failures in washington. Conjecture and scandal have always riddled this Washington paper hanger and we the People have paid huge tax dollars in past for the Clinton era!!

If Joe Lieberman supports Hillary Clinton, thats all I have to know.
That fact alone, shows me that Hillary is a neocon, with a D after her name.
The only major Republican candidate that would be worse is Rudy Giuliani.
