53. This has broader appeal than you realize, Julien...

Many conservatives I met in the military who were reasonably well-informed are against NAFTA/WTO.

People in the town you mentioned who lost their jobs voted for Bush because Kerry didn't offer a clear alternative. I would bet you that if Kerry came out and clearly said that NAFTA wasn't working, and that he was going to pull the US out, and that he was going to pull the US out of the WTO until these kinds of issues are addressed, he would have won a lot of their votes.

When Kerry talked in platitudes and vagaries, he might as well have said nothing to these folks. He lost their attention from the word, "go".
