Cnn.com recently posted a great video that is a microcosm of what is happening in Northeast Ohio.  A Johnson Rubber Factory recently closed in Middlefield, OH leaving 500 people on the street.  In one worker's words, "Northeast Ohio is a tough place to work, its a tough place to get a job right now."  Certainly, blue-collar jobs are not as prevalent as they used to be all across the country.  But Northeast Ohio is a region that was founded on those jobs.  Nicknamed, "The Rust Belt" cities all along the great lakes are no where near recovering from the jobs lost to cheaper labor over seas.  Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton won the state of Ohio without winning Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati.  How can she win a state primary without winning its three largest cities!?  Simply because many people believe that she is the answer to the job crisis and will fight the hardest for poor working class families.  Throughout Ohio, many factory jobs are the main draw to live in their cities.  Cleveland has an industrial wasteland of factories that housed thousands of blue-collar jobs which have now vanished pushing many people further away from Cleveland and other major cities to look for factory jobs in smaller more rural areas.  Note to John McCain and Barack Obama, if you want to win Ohio, figure out a plan to bring blue-collar jobs back to Ohio.  Good luck.
