McCain Reaches Out To Auto Workers In Michigan

Campaign '08 Complete Coverage

About The Candidates & Issues

Republican presidential candidate John McCain is seeking to bolster his appeal to voters on economic issues by speaking to some of those hardest hit in the recent downturn: auto workers.

McCain is visiting a General Motors Corp. site in Michigan developing a long-range electric car called the Volt.

After getting a briefing from GM CEO Rick Wagoner and other company officials, McCain is speaking at a town-hall event with workers at the GM Technology Center.

Earlier this week, GM announced $15 billion in cuts as it tries to weather a huge dropoff in sales of trucks and large cars on top of more long-term costs.

McCain has proposed giving a $5,000 tax credit to those who buy a no-emissions car.
