WSJ Marketing Watch ^

[Blue Turtle]

Mike Carey, president of the Ohio Coal Association (OCA), today issued the following statement in response to just-released remarks from Senator Barack Obama about the nation's coal industry. "Regardless of the timing or method of the release of these remarks, the message from the Democratic candidate for President could not be clearer: the Obama-Biden ticket spells disaster for America's coal industry and the tens of thousands of Americans who work in it.

my thoughts exactly I hope they did not early vote.

Ohio,Nv,Va,NH,Pa,Iowa,Fla.NC and Minnesota for McCain, book it, bet on it..

Also do not forget the hispanic vote is for McCain I don't think Richardson can steal NM!

You left out VA.

This plan will not just affect the coal industry.

Electricity rates will double and the prices for steel will skyrocket also. Carbon is an essential ingredient in steel both as a constituent of the steel itself and as the fuel that feeds the furnaces to make steel.

Obama is a madman bent on turning the United States into a third world country.

If Coal is outlawed only outlaw will have COAL!!!

I lived in PA from 99-06 and we never had early voting.

If Obama is elected, gas will cost $6/gal and your power bill quadruple. But he won't increase your taxes unless you make over $250,000 $200,000 $150,000 $100,000 $250,000 have a job.

You can say that again!

Rush Limbaugh went into pretty good detail about it, but I doubt that will convert anyone.
