United Auto Workers advertise for Obama in swing states

The United Auto Workers union (UAW) has launched a $3 million advertising campaign in support of Barack Obama.  The ads feature UAW members talking about problems with healthcare and manufacturing jobs, and they will run on TV, radio, and the Internet in Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.  Although McCain has pulled his campaign from Michigan and the state has been turned blue on most electoral maps, Michigan is still in play as a key state for Obama to win in order to win the Presidency in November.  This as campaign is one of many signals that Michigan isn't being taken for granted by Obama or his supporters.  Nonetheless, a Detroit Free Press columnist lists "Pull your resources and staff out of Michigan to go campaign in Maine" as one step to losing a presidential election.
