Fred, did you titled this "promising"? I can't figure out what is
"promising" about the content of the interview, other than the guy is
not a fascist. he seems like a real, honest liberal (I mean that without
judgment). He notes correctly, succinctly, that immigration is
fundamentally the result of the "institutional abandonment" of the
people...and then goes to say he wants to continue CAFTA. I don't get it.
What I see is that nothing in his program, in this interview, will
address the material needs of the people who put him into office. The
only promising thing is his clear commitment to democracy and raising
the profile of the masses of people vs that of the ARENA style of
Bush-type "business is everything" approach.
