CLEVELAND -- Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry has his eyes on Ohio with day two of his campaigning in full swing.
Kerry met Wednesday morning with a group of steelworkers at ISG. He spent the better part of an hour in a question-answer session. The biggest issue among these workers was job security and how to prevent jobs from going overseas. "I'm not going to stand up in front of you and say I can stop every job from being outsourced. But I'll tell you what I can do. I can fight to make sure you have a fair playing field. I'll enforce those anti-dumping provisions," Kerry said. Ohio has lost 250,000 jobs. Kerry blames that on President George W. Bush's policies. Kerry will launch a new campaign ad in the state that describes Bush's economic policy as "an astonishing failure." The ads also are meant to soften criticism of Kerry's vote for a free-trade pact that critics say has contributed to job losses in Ohio. The Ohio primary, which is part of Super Tuesday, is March 2.
