McCain to discuss potential job losses in Ohio

Republican's aide helped controversial deal while serving as lobbyist

MARION, Ohio - Republican presidential candidate John McCain is taking up the issue of possible job losses due to the closure of a DHL shipping site in Ohio, the result of a corporate merger aided by his campaign manager during his work as a lobbyist.

In 2003, McCain campaign manager Rick Davis lobbied Congress to accept a proposal by German-owned DHL to buy Airborne Express, which kept its domestic hub in Wilmington in southwest Ohio.

In announcing a restructuring plan in May, DHL said it planned to hire United Parcel Service to move some of its air packages, sending them through an airport in Louisville, Ky., and putting the Wilmington Air Park out of business. Some 8,000 jobs could be at stake, Wilmington officials estimate.

The Viagra must be cutting off the blood supply to his brain.

This one needs to be seen. More mergers of American Companies with foreign ones is what McCain will deliver. The profits and jobs continue to disappear.
