According to a Reuters article, some business groups question Huckabee's free trade credentials:
While Huckabee's campaign Web site provides few details of his views on trade, some of his public statements "sound awfully protectionist," said Nachama Soloveichik, a spokeswoman for Club for Growth, a pro-business advocacy group.
And they prefer Obama to the other Democrats on trade issues:
[Doug Goudie, director of International Trade Policy for the National Association of Manufacturers] took some comfort from Illinois Sen. Barack Obama's decisive victory in Iowa's Democratic caucuses.
While all the top Democrats have distanced themselves from free trade, Obama appears to be "a little more open" to it than former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards and New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, who finished second and third in Iowa, Goudie said.
