John Edwards told a New Hampshire audience, last week, that currency manipulation must be addressed in new trade agreements.  Yes, I know.  You say candidate statements mean nothing.  But getting these issues higher prominence is always good. 

Many powerful Dems in Congress want to foist trade agreements on us with so-called labor and environmental provisions in them.  Even if enforceable, no jobs, factories or farms would be saved.  Our trade imbalance would continue tanking.

Many powerful Republicans in Congress want to foist trade agreements on us without - in otherwords more of the same. 

Many newly elected Dems from November told Charlie Rangel that if they were made to vote for Fast Track, they would not be re-elected.

Duncan Hunter, Republican candidate for president, has been forceful on the currency manipulation issue.  It is a high priority issue for his campaign.  Obviously, Hunter has not caught on among the public and is a third tier candidate.

John Edwards' statement on the campaign trail is positive.
