...that's not even the bad news for President Clinton. This is: The U.S. trade imbalance with China has reached record levels, which could mean trouble not only for the President, but for the presidential wannabes (Gore, Bradley, Bush, McCain) who approve of his pledge to support China's bid for membership in the World Trade Organization. Which should leave the issue wide open for Buchanan, a conservative who has been a vocal opponent of recent trade agreements...
...Championing a deal opposed by labor could cost Gore heavily in one of the Democratic party's key activist constituencies, but free trade remains a cornerstone of the vice president's politics. Much may hinge, then, on how Bill Bradley responds to the same issue. Buoyed by an endorsement from former Clinton administration labor secretary Robert Reich Monday, Bradley is well-placed to outflank Gore from the party's left.

Visiting a school in New Hampshire, Bradley was formally endorsed by former Clinton labor secretary Robert Reich, who called the candidate "a man of commitment, dedication and vision." Reich left the Cabinet in 1997, long after his decidedly liberal economics pitted him against moderate White House policy. "Reich's biggest frustration was that he felt that by focusing so single-mindedly on reducing the deficit...
