Mitt Romney used a factory shuttered during the term of the last Republican President to make his argument that President Obama has mishandled the economy for his campaign stop in Ohio on Thursday.
The scene, in Lorain, was the National Gypsum Co. factory, a mammoth structure where gypsum wall board - also known as Sheetrock and drywall - was once made.
My story in Thursday's Blade is here.
Obama campaigned the previous day in Elyria, also in Lorain County.
There's something politically attractive about Lorain, because both Obama and Romney campaigned there this week.
And, the county sits in the middle of the Ohio's 9th District, which is going to be hotly contested between incumbent Marcy Kaptur (D., Toledo) and Republican Samuel "Joe the Plumber" Wurzelbacher of Springfield Township.
(For fairness' sake will we have to give Kaptur a nickname, maybe "The Saint"?)
