"Lasee Philips, who is learning about the electrical and mechanical trades at the school, rose during the forum and told Kerry his support for the North American Free Trade Agreement was "throwing some red flags in my mind."

After working 22 years as an injection molder in the same factory, Philips lost her job last year and blames the trade agreement.

Kerry responded that the United State initially gained jobs under NAFTA, but blamed subsequent losses on the failure to enforce side agreements on labor and environmental standards.

Philips was not convinced. "NAFTA, in my mind, sent our country in a tailspin the day it passed in 1997," she said after the forum."

Enter, stage left... he's tanned... he's ready... Ralph Nader!

Eh, Ralphie boy!
