I don't think the issue John Edwards has with the corporate ownership of this country is antithetical to the European positions, I rather think he wants the same general things that most people of good will would favor, labor pacts that emphasize fair trade with labor protections and environmental controls built into them.  I certainly don't expect (and I'm very much an Edwards partisan in this race) his attack on the corporations to be greatly leftist in a classical sense, probably not nearly enough, but even a populist leftist, that just tried to get a better deal from our masters would be a good improvement for us here.
