From John Carney:

“It’s going very well,” said Eaton. “Very well. We feel like we’ve got as good a chance as anyone. He said he’s visited 80 of the state’s 95 counties.

In most of those counties, said Eaton, there’s some sort of vacant manufacturing facility. He said the economy, jobs and gas prices are among the key issues raised by voters.

Eaton said he favors tax breaks and loans for small manufacturers, those with fewer than 500 employees and with what he called “mom and pop” ownership, which he feels are less likely to ship jobs overseas. He also said he wants to promote American-made products.
