McCain Could Be Forced Out of Pennsylvania Too, Union Chief Says
Democrats cheered on Wednesday when news broke that John McCain's campaign was abandoning Michigan, pulling down its ads and sending staffers to other states.

Almost immediately, an organization called Progress Michigan let loose with a taunt, demanding that McCain keep pouring resources into the state in order to explain to voters his "support for outsourcing" and the "failed economic policies" of the Bush administration.

Many speculated that McCain would now turn his focus to Pennsylvania. But United Steelworkers International president Leo Gerard tells the Huffington Post that the state could soon go the way of Michigan.

3. "Explain your support for republicon outsourcing." - America's working people
"Now. Why do you and other republicons support sending American jobs overseas, Senator McCain?"

7. Outsourcing in the name of "free trade" has enraged many americans
Edited on Fri Oct-03-08 05:53 PM by workinclasszero
starting with NAFTA. McCain was and is a champion of that garbage.

Its going to be extremely hard to sell that shit anymore what with hundreds of thousands losing their jobs this year (Merry Christmas!) while McCain's stock trader buddies kick back and play with our 700 billion dollars.

6. A few more polls with 8-10 point Obama leads and it will happen
On the day that McCain pulled out of Michigan PPP had a poll showing Obama +10 in the state. I bet McCain's internal polls showed worse.
