Michael G. Verich served eight terms as a Democratic member of the Ohio legislature, representing economically distressed Youngstown. That should make him a natural supporter of Democratic standard-bearer John F. Kerry, who is blitzing the Rust Belt with attacks on the Bush Administration for offshoring American jobs. So who is Verich backing in November? George W. Bush, says Verich, a Catholic whose decision is based in large part on moral and cultural issues rather than lunch-pail economics. "Most Ohioans support an amendment to ban flag burning, but not Kerry," Verich notes. "Partial-birth abortion? Many of us believe it's immoral, and Kerry voted against a ban on that ugly method. And 65% of Ohioans believe in capital punishment." Kerry supports the death penalty only for terrorists.

Kerry）抨击“铁锈地带”（Rust Belt），并抨击布什政府离职转移了美国的工作。那么，Verich在11月的支持者是谁？乔治·布什（George W. Bush）说，天主教徒韦里奇（Verich）的决定在很大程度上是基于道德和文化问题，而不是基于午餐桶经济。 Verich指出：“大多数俄亥俄州人支持禁止焚烧国旗的修正案，但不支持克里。” “分娩流产？我们中的许多人认为这是不道德的，凯利投票反对禁止这种丑陋的方法。65％的俄亥俄州人相信死刑。”克里只支持对恐怖分子判处死刑。
