I really want to see these two get into a match of one-upmanship on trade policy. Than we'll have something to hold they'll have to stick to their guns during the regular election and ultimately the White House.

I fear that the winner will get into a debate with McCain and sidestep the issue for fear of alienating corporate contributors. On this, O'Bama is the clear winner as he is following the Dean financing model soliciting almost a million smaller contributions rather than holding $2000 dinners and shmoozing with big dollar donors.

We need clear commitments from these two on how they will put their finger into the dyke and stop the job hemorraging. We need to hear them specifically talk about eliminating any and all subsidization for outsourcing. We need to hear about tariffs and different tax rates for companies based on the amount of domestic production vs. foreign production they have. We need to hear about a national defense initiative based on making sure our country is 100% able to produce materials and equipment in case of unease in the far east. We don't have to produce 100% of our goods here, but we should be producing a significant production line for EACH part needed for every car, every computer, every aircraft and certainly EVERY PIECE OF MILITARY HARDWARE that our society depends on.

Manufacturing made this country strong. The lack of manufacturing will make this country a slave to China!!!!
