    Bush continues to punch, counterpunch with Kerry over U.S. jobs By DEB RIECHMANN, AP
    Outside the convention center, about two dozen members of the Sheet Metal Workers Union stood in front of a 15-foot inflatable rat balloon emblazoned with sign that said 'Jobs Not Bush.' Matt Oakes, 35, of Akron, a Sheet Metal Local 33 recruiter, said 30 percent of his local's 5,000 members in northern Ohio and much of West Virginia had lost their jobs since Bush took office.
