The not-so-Solid South
For Bush, Loss of Jobs May Erode Support in South Carolina: "'Something's got to give,' said Ms. Mayson, a mother of three, as she left a state-run jobs center the other day. 'I'm not going to vote for Bush unless things change. The economy has got to get better, and it's only going to do that if someone makes something happen.'

Mr. Chastain, whose company, Mount Vernon Mills, has laid off 1,000 workers in recent years, is part of a coalition of textile executives who have formally complained to the White House about trade practices they contend are driving Americans out of jobs and manufacturers out of business, while giving huge advantages to China and other countries."

Mayson is an unemployed machine operator. Chastain is a CEO. Both are really angry at George Bush. Democrats who are writing off the South should think twice.
