McCain Promises to Help Michigan Workers ORION TWP, MI (Michigan Radio) - Republican presidential candidate John McCain began a daylong Michigan visit with a stop at a Detroit-area General Motors plant. McCain stopped at the Orion Township plant this morning and tied it to the turmoil in the financial markets. McCain said he won't allow Michigan workers to be ignored while the government bails out Wall Street.

"We're not going to leave the workers here in Michigan hung out to dry while we give billions in tax payer dollars to Wall Street," McCain said, "We're going to take care of the workers, the workers, they're the ones that deserve our help."

Michigan Senator Debbie Stabenow told reporters in a conference call that it was "insulting" for McCain to talk about helping workers when he supports trade policies that have cost Michigan jobs.

McCain and running mate Sarah Palin plan a town hall meeting in Grand Rapids later this evening.
