It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Portman! To the rescue!
In case of emergency, break glass. Then call Rob Portman.
Mike DeWine has been taking a beating from Sherrod Brown's 30-second TV ad saying that, by voting for trade agreements like CAFTA, DeWine has been responsible for sending a lot of good Ohio manufacturing jobs south of the border, where workers are paid a few bucks a day.
DeWine's campaign is hitting back, bringing in the former 2nd District congressman for a Friday press conference downtown where, no doubt, Portman - now White House budget director and formerly U.S. trade representative - will be asked to set the record straight on the matter. He and DeWine, the campaign says, will "discuss the advantages of free and fair trade for Ohio businesses.''
DeWine is not the only Republican candidate locked in a tough fight that Portman will help this week - he's the headliner at a Ken Blackwell fundraiser Thursday evening in Anderson Township.

Hey Howard, instead of just putting up the spin from each side (along with your own) why don't you do some research. It should be pretty easy for you to come up with the obvious, NAFTA and CAFTA have sent good jobs oversees. It's brought about the de-industrialization of the mid west and beyond.
Ross Perot predicted that over a decade ago. The two corporate shills lied and pretended it would be good for workers. It's bad for workers everywhere. A race to the bottom for worker, environmental and soverign rights.
Hey freak with the bold letters, we have had enough of you writing the same thing over and over every time. I'm liberal and you scare me!
Can't wait to hear some lib on here accuse Wilkinson of re-writing a GOP press release...
For me, it's not so much a matter whether there are "advantages of free and fair trade for Ohio businesses" but to Ohio citizens. If my boss can get labor cheaper outside of the U.S. there's no doubt it's an advantage to my boss. There's only a loss to the worker whose Ohio job is gone.
