Will McCain's role in the loss of thousands of Ohio jobs affect the vote outcome there?

The "merger" your referring to, kept the company from going bankrupt, to start with. The economy has only worsened since then and NO one has the right to expect ANY company, to operate constantly in the red. McCain has promised to do whatever he can, but what your referring to here, is only ONE of hundreds of companies every day, facing the same bleak outlook. SO your BIASED leading statement, that McCain is costing these jobs is bogus and lame........he could save them, while Obamaman does what ? Order MORE tire pressure gauges ?

Because Obama will guarantee that those who lose their jobs won't be able to find a new job.

that wrinkly old white hair guy will wish he never supported NAFTA.

I was one of them. I'll never vote for a stinking Republican again as long as I live.

if they have any sense they will not vote for that lying wrinkly old white guy

I think it's pretty clear McCain doesn't care about the plight of average Americans. Most of the new policies he's adopted benefit wealthy individuals and corporations. It's a continuation of the Bush policies that have resulted in the worst economy since the great depression. What McCain, Bush, and those who support laissez faire economic policies don't realize is that absolute deregulation and zero government oversight result in bubbles, abuses, and crashes. In the end, it helps destroy the middle class which a healthy economy relies upon. Most wealth generation, in fact, is achieved on the back of providing goods and services to that middle class. What many rich people fail to realize is that without a middle class, much of their wealth simply would not exist. Furthermore, attacks on the support structures of the middle class -- affordable healthcare, pensions, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, widely available cheap credit, debt forgiveness and other programs that helped make the US the strongest economy in the world following the ravages of the Great Depression -- reduce the wealth of the United States at large, while at the same time reducing the potential for people to move up in income brackets. Conservatives seem to think that everyone can be rich. The reality is that there are winners and there are losers. The support structures ensure that losers are pulled up by the bootstraps and given a second chance. Relevant quote from Hubert Humphrey: "Compassion is not weakness, and concern for the unfortunate is not socialism."
