You are right. He is for free trade in theory, but he's against any practical measures to implement it such as NAFTA, CAFTA, and the WTO. Which basically means that if he was president, we wouldn't see much expansion of free trade.

The best candidate on free trade issues is John McCain, hands-down. He almost always supports FTAs. On the Democratic side, Bill Richardson and Hillary Clinton are probably the most likely to continue pursuing FTAs, even if they won't admit it during the primary season.
