The Clinton Strikes Back
Hillary Clinton has been widely touted and widely criticized as the front runner for the 2008 Democrat nomination. A look at her voting record, shows mixed votes on Free Trade.
Voted YES on free trade agreement with Oman.
Voted NO on implementing CAFTA for Central America free-trade.
Voted YES on establishing free trade between US & Singapore.
Voted YES on establishing free trade between the US and Chile.
However, Senator Clinton is the least conflicted of any of the potential nominees about Globalization/Free Trade. Clinton in the steps of her NAFTA organizing husband, President Bill Clinton, is a democrat who is largely in favor of Globalization and Free Trade. Hate to break it to the Hillary hating, Free Trade Loving Club (headed by Hart) but Hillary is the Democrat most in line with views in favor of globalization. A large question remains though, will she actually run? Should be an interesting build up to the primary season next year.
