Senator Barack Obama, trying to build on his show of strength at the Democratic National Convention, is targeting one of his biggest weaknesses: his standing with white, blue-collar voters.
Yesterday, at a glass plant in Duryea, Pa. (population 4,600), just outside Scranton, Obama highlighted a new Labor Department report showing another 84,000 jobs lost in August and the highest national unemployment rate in five years. He vowed to revitalize manufacturing and mocked McCain for saying re cently that the fundamentals of the economy are "strong."
"What's more fundamental than having a job?" Obama asked the workers.
