President Bush is pressing Republicans to pass CAFTA. Good for him. Tom DeLay is confident - I hope he's right. After we relegate the Democrats to the fringe, we should flush out the anti-free trade protectionists from our party.
Update: It passed in a squeaker. The Instapundit links to a guy who notes the declining support for free trade by Democrats. I hate to give the man credit, but Bill Clinton is responsible for the passage of NAFTA and deserves praise for his staunch support of free trade. It looks like his legacy in the party on this issue was pretty fleeting though.
