Buchannan ran before the bad effects of NAFTA and other trade policies were known

Uh, huh. Today I'm sure he'd get more than 0.0045% of the vote. ROFL!

McCain is running in a year when most Americans (even conservatives at FR) have realize that trade as practiced now is a disaster.

What metrics are you using to come to this conclusion -- other than your feelings?

McCain will lose and probably on the NAFTA issue the way the electoral maps is drawn

McCain could lose for a lot of reasons but NAFTA will be very low on the list.

Look if you can’t look at the situation with trade honestly-Free trade is not popular. Even in Texas where one could argue there has been some benefit...they were more than 50 % against it. If McCain run on this platform, he will lose.

I disagree. Trade is a big issue this year. A recession is looming. The Dems will trash McCain using free trade. This will have an impact.
