EDWARDS SCRIPT **** Bite: Edwards Hudson Tape / 49:00 Have I missed something? Can you tell me, have we already had the New Hampshire primary? I mean have we decided who was going to win the New Hampshire primary yet? I think we are actually going to have an election. TRK1: Polls and fundraising tallies may have him in 3rd place but Senator John Edwards has been a longshot before …and surprised the pundits. Bite: Hudson Tape: 49:00 I think this thing is a long way from being decided and instead of moving from primary mode to general election mode, why don't we have tell the truth mode? TRK2: In his 2nd run for the presidency Edwards has learned how important it is to differentiate himself from his rivals -- as he did on the recent Senate vote to declare the Iranian revolutionary national guard as a terrorist organization. Bite: Hudson/ Senator Clinton voted yes and she's entitled to her vote but I can't tell you how strongly I disagree with that. What makes me worry is what if Bush invades Iran 6 months from now? So are we going to hear again if only I had known then what I know now? You know how long does it take to learn the lessons in the past. We can not give this president an inch, not an inch. TRK3: Contrasting his positions without going negative is a delicate balancing act. Bite: Utube debate/ 4:03: 40 Sen Edwards…wife said.you'd be better advocate for woman… Is she right? 4:04:17 what eliz was saying.important question affecting woman… minimum wage.democrats.to raise min wage… 2nd more women in poverty.central cause in life and camping, more women health care.first to come out with univ health care. Sen Clinton commended.I have strongest boldest idea and can bring about the change that needs to be brought 4:05:14 TRK4: Edwards says there are differences as well on the War in Iraq. Bite: Edwards/ Huddleson tape/ 4:30. I believe we need to end the war.and end the war no combat missions in Iraq. Sen Clinton says on going combat missions.on going missions means ongoing war. BETH Edwards Interview tape/ 1:00:28 Experts warn of dire consequences if troops withdrawn, they talk about increased sectarian violence, an international terror hub and a broader conflict in the region….why are they wrong? 1:00:45 because the fundamental problems with Iraq and the foundation for the violence is the conflict between Sunni & Shiite. Unless and until that conflict is resolved and there's some political solution there cannot be stability in Iraq. Bite: We have to ratchet up the pressure on them. You keep talking about the war in Iraq and anxieties about Iran, frustrations about Korea, North Korea. I don't hear candidates talking about their agenda for world peace. Bite: Hudson Tape: 50:47 I'll be happy to answer that. 51:00 I want to be the president who leads and international effort to rid the planet of nuclear weapons. Because I think that's the answer. The idea that we can control nuclear weapons is a fantasy. TRK5: Edwards is described as a moderate. As for the retail politics so critical in NH….he's good at it. Bite: 1:26:54 -1:27:17 Hudson: I don't believe a child learns anything by filling out a bubble on a cheap standardized test. Don't think they learn anything by that…a friend down south describes it.you don't make a hog fatter by weighing it. waits for laughter.I knew you'd get it in a second. TRK6: With his easy speaking manner and populist style -Edwards easily draws crowds even when he's up against a Patriots game. Nats: CNN 549 / 48:25 walks down aisle.clapping at graduation at NE College CNN 549 more broll wide shot applause 49:20/ getting honorary degree 49:28/ TRK6: The son of a millworker ….Edwards was the first in his family to go to college. Bite: CNN 549 / 51:36-:48 I know for me and I suspect for you…this is a gateway of opportunity.never able to do what I've done without graduating from college and law school. TRK7: A successful trial lawyer and self made millionaire….Edwards sees himself as a living breathing example of the American dream and wants to give others that same opportunity. MTV LIVE tape: 8:42 How would you make higher education affordable. 8:44 It's called college for everyone…American pay for tuition in books 9:01 TRK8: How would he fund an education program as sweeping as this one: Bite: MTV live tape; 12:02 getting rid of intermediary in student loans:12 12:28 there is some additional money generated, collecting taxes not being paid in capital gains taxes:39 17:27 do we have to change tax system…yes. Political don't want to say it but answer is yes… to create revenue. TRK9: Edwards believes he is a much stronger candidate this time out. There is a toughness he says that comes from being in the spotlight of a national campaign and everything he's gone through. TRK10: On Nov 3rd 2004 - the day he and John Kerry conceded the presidential race -Edwards wife Elizabeth revealed she had breast cancer. In March of 2006 - the headlines were back. |

N1- New Mexico's governor Bill Richardson says he's ready to take on presidential issues. the presidency. Series of quick sound - PBS debate 6:59:10ish "We have to find a way to give every American access to a college education." CNN You Tube debate -4:09:25 "I would eliminate 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' in the military." Dartmouth debate - 22:48:43 - "I will do everything I can to fight terrorists." N2- Richardson's been the governor of New Mexico for five years. He's popular in his home state with an approval rating of nearly 70 percent. As a presidential candidate, however, he has a lot of catching up to do. Of the Democratic contenders, he's running well behind Senators Clinton and Obama in the polls. Politics and Eggs event - not most popular candidate clip N3- Richardson is ambitious on several issues including education. PBS debate 57:54 - "GOV. RICHARDSON: You know, sometimes when I talk about education, and this is the first time we have talked about it in any debate, the first thing you hear is, how are you going to pay for it? Nobody asks how we're going to pay for the war. " He shared his that vision with a full auditorium at West High School in Manchester. Quick clips about education plan from West High tape 2 Richardson 3-6:20 Phil - "YOU MENTIONED THAT WE ARE RANKED 28TH IN THE WORLD With REGARDS TO EDUCATION, WHY IS THAT? Well, we are ranked twenty-ninth in the world when it comes to science and math scores. It's because we don't emphasize science and math in our schools, we don't have enough science and math teachers. High school curriculums need to be revamped. We need to have schools to stimulate science and math. And that means investment. That means paying our teachers better.That means upgrading our curriculums." The following bite seems out of place. should it go before the west high intro? PBS debate 57:54 - "GOV. RICHARDSON: You know, sometimes when I talk about education, and this is the first time we have talked about it in any debate, the first thing you hear is, how are you going to pay for it? Nobody asks how we're going to pay for the war. " Sound from West High tape 2 - "how he would pay for his plan" N4- Once Richardson's speech at the high school ended, student's questions began. Quick series of questions from West High students to Richardson Richardson 2 - 3643/3713 - Kate Piscopo - "I respect that he gave an honest answer he didn't dance around the question. He actually addressed what we had to say. I'm planning to go on to college and concerned about the costs and I like the fact that he has a plan to reduce the costs because I can't afford it." Richardson 2 - 3920 Katelyn LeMay - "I was interested in the issue of drop outs and I wanted to hear how he is going to do that but he didn't give any tactics on how to keep students in school." Photos from Richardson web site N5- Before he was elected governor of New Mexico, Richardson spent 14 years in Congress. With the Clinton administration he gained diplomatic experience as the US Ambassador to the United Nations. Richardson's plan for the war in Iraq differs from the Democratic front-runners. Dartmouth debate 21:09:39 - "GOVERNOR RICHARDSON, YOU HAVE SAID THAT YOU WILL BRING HOME ALL TROOPS WITHIN A YEAR. YOU'VE HEARD YOUR THREE OTHER OPPONENTS SAY THEY CAN'T DO IT IN FOUR YEARS. HOW CAN YOU DO IT IN ONE YEAR? Well, I have a fundamental difference with Senator Obama, Senator Edwards, and Senator Clinton. Here's my position: Their position basically is changing the mission. My position in bringing all troops out of Iraq is to end the war. The American people want us to end this war. Our kids are dying. The bloodiest last three months. And my position is this: you cannot start the reconciliation of Iraq, a political settlement, an all-muslim peacekeeping force to deal with security and boundaries and possibility of a separation, which is a plan that I do believe makes sense, until we get all of our troops out because they have become targets." Richardson 1 -- Sound in elementary school speaking Spanish N6- Don't let the name Richardson fool you - he is Hispanic. Born to a Mexican mother and American father, Richardson grew up in Mexico City. He says as president he'll construct effective immigration policies - without building walls. Richardson 3-3:07 - Phil - "WHAT ROLE DOES THE UNITED STATES PLAY IN HELPING THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT, MEXICAN BUSINESSES CREATE WELL-PAYING JOBS IN MEXICO SO THERE ISN'T THE DESIRE TO LEAVE? One of the premises under NAFTA, the North America Free Trade Agreement, creating more jobs in Mexico would stop illegal immigration or curtail it. It hasn't happened. So first we have to insist with them that they do something about poverty in their country, that they find jobs in Central Mexico, that's where the biggest flaw is to the United States for their people. And maybe we'll work with them to do it. Maybe we'll have joint organizations to create jobs. But at the very least, be honest with Mexico, and say "stop giving out maps with in easiest place to cross," but most importantly, do something about the poverty in your own country." Richardson 3 - 4:27 Phil - "WHAT ROLE DID NAFTA PLAY IN ALL OF THIS? NAFTA has created jobs. But it fell short in several areas. One, we did lose jobs from the United States. Secondly, there were side agreements to protect the environment, to have job security, to have job protection and worker protection, and it didn't happen. And so, we've got to not have any trade agreements in our workers, that don't enhance environmental quality, that don't adhere to international labor standards, like slave labor and child labor." Sound at Politics and Eggs event about health care O/C - About 20 percent of New Mexicans live without health care insurance. That's higher than the national average. Richardson supports universal health care legislation in his state and says he will do the same as president. Richardson 3- 1:09 - Phil "You have a plan, the other candidates have a plan. The question is, how do you create bipartisan agreement - how do you bring people together to implement a plan? You bring people together by saying: let's get the politics out of it. I would ask the Democratic and Republican leadership: let's come together on a plan. Let's agree that everybody should be covered. But let's do it in the most efficient way. And let's keep politics and the attacks out of it. That would be my first request - it's a process issue. Then, I believe the first thing you need to do is deal with the inequities and inefficiencies in the existing system, rather that starting over, rather than taxing people, rather than creating a million new bureaucracies. That's what I would do. Phil - AND DO YOU THINK THAT'S POSSIBLE, KEEPING THE POLITICS OUT OF THIS ISSUE? If there's a new President, and it's a strong vote, you tap in to the enormous idealism of the American people, and the enormous dissatisfaction with the relationship with the President and congress that is basically dysfunctional. I believe it is possible." N7- While he's not been able to gain ground in NH, Governor Richardson, it seems, does believe in possibilities. Richardson 1 - 2015 2nd grade student - "What is your favorite book? My favorite book is by Doris Kearns and its about Abe Lincoln - how he was elected president and the moral is about how a candidate who was not doing well in the polls eventually became president." N8- Whether Governor Richardson lives out a storybook ending remains to be seen. One thing that is certain - he knows how to pick a baseball team. Dartmouth debate 22:58:00 - "FOR MANY HERE IN NEW ENGLAND, THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION MAY BE THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE YOU ANSWER TONIGHT: RED SOX, OR YANKEES? GOVERNOR RICHARDSON. Red Sox, because Manny Ramirez is back. The Red Sox will win the Pennant, and they will win the World Series." N8- For NH Outlook, I'm Phil Vaughn. |

Ethanol could fuel price hikes Posted Saturday, March 31st 2007, 4:00 AM An ethanol-fueled boom in prices will prompt American farmers to plant the most corn since the year the Allies invaded Normandy, but surging demand could mean consumers still might pay more for everything from chicken to cough syrup. Corn is a key ingredient in many foods, from corn syrup found in candies to feed used in meat production. With more corn being used for ethanol production, that could raise prices in other areas where corn is used. Farmers are expected to plant 90.5 million acres of corn, according to the Department of Agriculture's annual prospective plantings report released yesterday. That would be a 15% increase over 2006 and the most corn planted since 1944. The move to plant corn is in large part due to a rush to produce corn-based ethanol, which is blended with gasoline. The corn rush was sparked by President Bush's initiative for support of flexible-fuel vehicles and his administration's plan to cut gas consumption by 20% in 10 years. The Associated Press -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

n New West Energy Grok ‘Ethanol Binge’ Hikes Corn Prices By Richard Martin, 3-23-07 Last week US BioEnergy had a ground-breaking ceremony at a new ethanol plant in Dyersville, Iowa, bringing to 78 the number of ethanol plants under construction, with 113 already operating. And that’s not good news for the ranchers and poultry farmers of the Rocky Mountain West. Amid the “ethaphoria” currently gripping agribusiness and certain parts of the nation’s capital, a growing chorus of voices is pointing out an unintended consequence on the reliance on corn and grains as the raw material for ethanol production: prices for feed fo livestock are rising, sending prices at grocery stores up as well. “This ethanol binge is insane,” Paul Hitch, president-elect of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Assn., told BusinessWeek. Corn prices have doubled over the last year, reports the Earth Policy Institute, while wheat futures are trading at their highest level in 10 years. The diversion of corn to fuel ethanol uses “is creating unintended consequences throughout the global food chain,” a Bloomberg analysis finds – not to mention increased use of pesticides and fossil fuels to grow all that corn. Meanwhile, the U.S. Congress has slapped a 54-cents-per-gallon tarrif on ethanol from Brazil – which is grown from sugarcane. Wonder what’s going to happen to rum prices. In other energy news: -- In a man-bites-dog story, Xcel Energy has applied to the Colorado Public Utilities Commission for an electricity rate decrease of $13.6 million thanks to lower costs of fuel, such as natural gas, and purchased electricity predicted for upcoming months. If approved by the PUC, the new rates would take effect April 1 and continue through June 30. Meanwhile, the Colo. attorney general has announced his support for HB 1208, which would alter the state’s Unfair Practices Act to allow big chain stores to offer big gas discounts. -- As Colo. Governor Bill Ritter’s legislative package to boost renewable energy, and increase oversight of the oil and gas industry in the state, moves closer to signing, Big Energy is faced with a dilemma: oppose the measures, and be seen as obstructionists and anti-environmentalists, or swallow hard and go along? So far the Colorado Petroleum Association is against House Bill 1341, which would reform the board of the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, while oil giant BP—the state’s No. 1 natural gas producer—says it will take a wait-and-see approach. -- Earlier we reported that, despite the Bush Administration’s ambitious goals for technology to produce cellulosic ethanol from organic material other than corn, the research budget for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, which is leading the way on cellulosic science, had flatlined. That’s no longer the case: the Energy Department announced Friday that the NREL will get an additional $99 million in funding this year, a 47-percent jump. Comment By dukeco1, 3-23-07 Big Energy is not accustomed to going along. They are, in Colorado at least, accustomed to getting their way. They just need to sidle over and make room for all their chickens moving back in to the roost. Comment By Hal Herring, 3-23-07 Brazilian ethanol tariff shows the world that all our free market talk is just like all that talk about WMD. How much more credibility can we stand to lose? As we pump out the last aquifers to water the chem-corn.bust the last prairie for the GMO variety, importing as much oil as we can to drive those tractors that make the corn ethanol binge.keep those Wahabbis happy, don't you know, keep the money flowing to them as leaders pretend to "get off the product," wreck the land, keep the annuities for the families of the Islamic suicide bombers healthy, line some US pockets, and witness the end of the greatest nation on earth. Dang. Hal Boy, it ain't a pretty picture is it? Comment By Chris, 3-23-07 Not only that, but the plants that make the stuff are awful-smelling blights too. Last week I was working literally in the shadow of an ADM plant in Cedar Rapids, IA, that processes corn syrup from corn, and is in the process of building an ethanol plant. I don't know what was in the exhaust belching into the sky, but it sure smelled raunchy. I wouldn't wish that in anyone's backyard. Comment By pete geddes, 3-23-07 When we subsidize things that trade in the market, we benefit the well off and well organized at the expense of the most vulnerable members of society. This holds true whether in Bozeman, Boston, or Birmingham. Princeton Ph.D. George Will said it well: “The world is divided between those who do and do not understand that activist, interventionist, regulating, subsidizing government is generally a servant of the strong and entrenched against the weak and aspiring.” Comment By Francesco DeParis, 3-23-07 I think we should start supporting cellulosic ethanol in the same manner we support corn-based ethanol. There will come a point when corn prices are too high to consider this an economic alternative to petroleum. I comment about cellulosic ethanol onEnergy Spin: Alternative Energy Blog For Investors Served Daily Cheers, Francesco DeParis Comment By bearbait, 3-25-07 One result of NAFTA was that corn from USA was so cheap and available that it drove tens of thousands of small Mexican farmers off the land and to town to find work. Now that corn has doubled in price, tortillas have also doubled in price. The poorest in Mexico now have a harder time eating, and more incentive to move north. The end result, of course, is how much energy independence do you gain by having your country supporting another million or more illegal aliens in need of medical, financial, housing and education subsidy, all of which come with energy demands? Corn ethanol comes with costs, many of which are hidden. Again, a hero move supported by liberal midwestern politicians financed by MegaAg companies, comes with unintended consequences. The ones in Mexico have happened, and the ones here are on the conveyor belt to realization. Meat prices will have to rise, and we all will pay that price. Even the vegans will pay a higher price as soy beans are replaced by corn in the farm fields. Comment By cc, 3-26-07 That Xcel Energy news item relates to the monthly ECA which adjusts, up or down, for the commodity cost of natural gas feedstock, primarily. Thus, it is not that unusual to see a downward ECA result in an overall decrease in electrictiy rates for the following month. Incidentally, the same mechanism is found on the natural gas bills but it is called a GCA. Thus, this is not a "man bites dog" story, but something that occurs when natural gas prices decline.
