Updated: McCain's Ohio Strategy: I Helped Take The Jobs Away And They Aren't Coming Back!

John McCain has taken a rather unorthodox approach towards winning the crucial swing states like Ohio in this election.

Here's what he has accomplished in Ohio so far:

Told a weeping woman in Ohio, a swing state that has suffered substantial economic distress, the "straight talk" that 8,000  blue collar jobs aren't coming back to her town. 

However behind the scene, hired as his campaign manager his best friend lobbyist whom he collaborated with in orchestrating a foreign take over and the shipment of those jobs overseas, leading a cash strapped Ohio town to make millions in investments that ended up being worthless.

Yes, John McCain and The Straight Talk DHL Express.

HT: The Jed Report 

UPDATE: The Ohio Democratic Party released a new web ad today contrasting John McCain's aggressive personal intervention in the Senate on behalf of a foreign shipping company with his unwillingness to intervene just as aggressively with DHL as 8,000 Ohio jobs hang in the balance in the wake of the deal he helped broker. 

Watch: "Stand Up":
