Edwards -- Walmart blocked container inspection bill
Anyone catch this in the debates last night? It really threw me.

Edwards stated that Walmart had blocked a comprehensive bill to inspect most cargo containers coming into this country.



Now here's a riddle for you:

Who was the first woman to be on the Walmart (Arkansas) board of directors, serving from 1986 until 1992, when she left because her husband took a very high political office?

1. Well, Hillary.
But was she involved in blocking the bill?

4. Hillary is opposing Walmart
She's one of 9 senators who have joined on this fight, the others being Obama, Schumer, Lautenberg, Menendez, Feinstein, Boxer, Kerry, and Kennedy.
