John McCain appeared at three mostly private events in the Cleveland suburbs today. He fired up volunteers at Baldwin Wallace College, talked economics to workers at a Middleburg Heights nuclear parts plant, and in Strongsville, won the endorsement of the local office of the Internation Union of Operating Engineers.
Pat Sink is the local union's business officer.
SINK:"We have to take into consideration one thing -- and that's jobs, and the economy of our membership... We've been in contact with the McCain platform, and I'll have to announce, I'd be proud to announce that today, local 18 does endorse fully the McCain/Palin platform."
But while the IUOE is supporting McCain, the National union has endorsed Obama, and a spokesman says Sink was among those who voted unamimously to do so. A call to Sink seeking comment was not returned."
