Reply #2: Nope, that's about right.

I just moved from Indiana...its economy was in really bad shape when Daniels was elected (really tight with Bush-naturally). When Honda came to these areas, apparently nobody looked closely at the deal because everyone was just excited to add quality jobs to the state. It's no surprise he gave a Honda a sweet deal to make sure they came to Indiana, so that he could get a lot of credit. It was brilliant really, because Indiana is pretty red (65/35 R/D in last general election), so there is no shortage of people who swallow, for example, Rush Limbaugh's anti-union vitriol wholesale, so they think unions are a product of Satan and the evil liberals. This story will be met with yawns there I'm sure.
