Every four years, presidential candidates pledge allegiance to American manufacturing and profess a love for "Made in America." But when the going gets tough, no candidate is willing to match this rhetoric with action. In a state where manufacturing still provides good jobs, that's just unacceptable, especially since we now know that nearly 100,000 jobs in the Illinois auto-parts sector are at risk due to China's cheating. |  | Daum: Rush Limbaugh's blind spot Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown University law school student Rush Limbaugh called a "slut" and a "prostitute," is intelligent, poised and coherent. That alone puts her miles ahead of her detractors. | |  | |
