"In steel country, voters put focus on trade policy" by Brian C. Mooney, Globe Staff | September 29, 2008

SHARON, Pa. - Ross's job was one of thousands that have disappeared in this small blue-collar city in the crush of competition from China. Inexpensive Chinese-made steel pipe flooded US markets over the past four years, causing Wheatland Tube to close and then raze the plant in Sharon, taking another 400 jobs in the latest blow to the steel industry in western Pennsylvania.

Sharon, a city of about 16,000 in the Shenango Valley on the Ohio border, is on the front lines in that trade battle. For Sharon and the Shenango Valley, however, the outlook remains uncertain. The city has lost nearly a third of its population in the last 40 years, and the transition from steel to a more diversified economy has been fitful and slow.

Mercer County leans Democratic and Sharon is overwhelmingly so. But this is Reagan Democrat country. Sharon's population is whiter, older, and less educated than the nation as a whole and the county vote in the last two presidential elections mirrored the national results - Al Gore edged George W. Bush in Mercer County in 2000, but Bush beat John F. Kerry by almost three points in 2004. It is also Clinton country. In this year's Pennsylvania Democratic presidential primary, Hillary Clinton trounced Barack Obama by more than 38 points in Mercer County.

Translation: McCain WINS PENNSYLVANIA, too!!!

George Bornes, retired president of the steelworkers' local that represented workers in the Sharon plant torn down 16 months ago and a self-described "lifelong Democrat," hesitated when asked who he'll vote for in November. After a moment, he said: "I will stay a Democrat and vote for Obama." --more--"

Even though he DOESN'T REALLY WANT TO!!!

See why I am SICK of the SHIT JOURNALISM around AmeriKa's POLITICS, readers?!!!
