On his swing through Colombia en route to Mexico, John McCain among other things promoted NAFTA, supported the U.S.-Colombian Free Trade Agreement, promoted "free" trade in general, and said "I would like to see a hemispheric free trade agreement" (link). Presumably the "hemispheric" plan would be along the lines of the Free Trade Agreement of the Americas, although just going straight to the North American Union might be in the back of his mind.
Bear in mind that Barack Obama is no great shakes on this issue. While he supposedly opposes the Colombia FTA, he also admitted to being misleading about NAFTA and he supports Bush's SPP, a joint venture between Canada, Mexico, and the U.S.
