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.
NAFTA and CAFTA are managed trade.

Allowing American's to freely purchase supplements, go to Canada for drug, etc - that is free trade.

Nobody is more favorable for voluntary association in the market - aka free trade.
