Funny thing about the folks from the rust belt, like myself ( from Michigan ,
family still in the auto industry), is that the single thing they attribute
most with the loss of jobs, is the NAFTA agreement Clinton signed. Like you
say, they seem to think the guy in the white house is the one to take the
credit
or heat, and Clinton started this snowball rolling. Union folks who are
supposed to blindly support the Dems, can't point at one individual thing
Bush has
done that caused their troubles, or helped either, so they sit undecided on
the
election. As the Union quits paying the folks now laid off or underemployed
for the last 5 years or so, their allegience to the unions is wavering. We
will
see how this pans out, should be very interesting.
