Peru Free Trade Posted by Heather Hurlburt

If your head is spinning from that bizarre exchange on trade, here's why Obama went out of his way to mention the Peru Free Trade Agreement:  it contains specific provisions on labor rights, environmental standards -- and specifically, in the case of Peru, efforts to stop illegal logging.  Those are standards that were included in late-Nineties trade agreements but that were stripped out of agreements by Republicans starting in 2001. 

Also, I just have to ask, if Colombia is our best ally in Latin America, what does that make Mexico and Chile?

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama holds strong leads over his Republican adversary John McCain in two national polls released Tuesday.
A New York Times/CBS News poll had Obama ahead of McCain by 14 points — 53 to 39 percent — while a Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll shows Obama ahead by nine points, 50 to 41 percent.
