How do the candidates vote on trade issues?

Senator John McCain
Barrier Votes: 88%
(35 votes out of 40 opposing trade barriers)
Subsidy Votes: 80% (8 votes out of 10 opposing trade subsidies)

Congressman Jim Cooper (Nashville)
Barrier Votes: 81%
(21 votes out of 26 opposing trade barriers)
Subsidy Votes: 50% (4 votes out of 8 opposing trade subsidies)

Senator Barack Obama
Barrier Votes: 36%
(4 votes out of 11 opposing trade barriers)
Subsidy Votes: 0% (0 votes out of 2 opposing trade subsidies)

Senator Hillary Clinton
Barrier Votes: 31%
(9 votes out of 29 opposing trade barriers)
Subsidy Votes: 14% (1 votes out of 7 opposing trade subsidies)

Our own Congressman Cooper did better than Clinton and Obama, but not as good as McCain. All in all, very good for a Democrat. Data from Cato.
