Quote Of Note

"Americans see manufacturing as a key to our economic strength and security and politicians who don't are wildly out of sync with their constituents. Voters see manufacturing as irreplaceable. They see creating manufacturing jobs and the strength of U.S. manufacturing as the top thing they would like to see the President and Congress address. They don't think they are doing enough now and they lament the loss of U.S. world economic leadership."

-- Michael Bloomfield, managing director of The Mellman Group, summarizing a survey taken of 1,000 likely voters.
