"The most vulnerable Republican senators are free-traders. Their challengers range from rabid protectionists to moderate trade sceptics. At one extreme is Sherrod Brown, a congressman from Ohio's rustbelt and one of the most militant foes of free trade on Capitol Hill. He has written an entire book denouncing trade (“Myths of Free Trade”) and wants to renegotiate all America's big trade deals, especially NAFTA. Bob Casey, the Democratic challenger for a Senate seat in Pennsylvania, “opposes any trade law that sends American jobs overseas”. Jim Webb, the Democratic challenger in Virginia, wants to impose tariffs on countries that refuse to bring their labour and environmental standards into line with America's."
