Democrats Target Overseas Jobs.

"It's not rocket science," said Eddie Vale, a spokesman for the AFL-CIO. "People are unemployed, or their brother is, or their next-door neighbor is. If Democrats want to win races in 2010, they need to show people they're creating jobs for them. And repealing tax breaks that send jobs overseas is a direct corollary."

"given the public's hostile mood toward big business, opponents of the measure may have limited bargaining power. "

"polls show the issue has taken on a moral dimension as the pain of the recession lingers."

"It's incredibly dangerous to be on the wrong side of this issue," said Democratic pollster Geoff Garin. Among the voters he has surveyed, Garin said, "there's a belief that the most important thing we can do to prevent unemployment is to keep jobs from going overseas."

This is great but it shouldn't be about winning campaigns. It needs to be an everyday real issue. This same idea needs to be multiplied by a million. This is just playing around the edges to earn reelection points. The strategy is correct. The scope needs to be a lot more. This is about peoples lives. It is not a game.
