Returning to a theme of Thursday's Republican debate, McCain criticized Romney for suggesting jobs in hard-hit industries like textiles in South Carolina and car manufacturing in Michigan could return to previous levels.

"There are some jobs that left this state that aren't coming back," the Arizona senator told supporters at Applewood House of Pancakes in Pawley's Island, South Carolina.

"For anybody to say that they're all coming back and the textile industry is going to be restored where it was, you know better than that," said McCain, calling for government aid to retrain people who lose their jobs to global competition.

Romney, a former Massachusetts governor and corporate turnaround specialist, told supporters in Warren, Michigan, "I'm not willing to accept defeat like that.

"It is unacceptable to me to see any job go away, I will fight for every good job in Michigan and for America."

This is why I like Romney. He has good business sense. I remember Ross Perrot (sp?) and he had some good ideas for making this country economically strong. I think Romney would run this country with a good fiscal hand. McCain seems defeatist. I don't think McCain is being a realist because many corps have been turned around with the right CEO. There is a time to be a realist and a time to get things done. I don't believe Romney is being a politician, I think he sincerely believes he can improve this country's economy. Sure, a corp is not the government, but, someone who has had success in that area, then goes into politics, gets a grasp of politiking, IMO, can do a good job running this country.

We don't need a socialist, IMO, we need a good business leader who will not shy away from war.

So far, Romney seems the only one capable.

Textiles have been making a steady exodus from my state (SC) for decades.
While our average salaries aen't as high as some parts of the country, we can't compete with the pennies that foreigners will work for in their own country.

I'd like to see a realistic plan
for returning the industry but I fear it's just another empty campaign promise.
