When I asked the Boeing lady sitting next to me why the 787 has it's fuselage built in Italy instead of at my CF whiz buddies in Oklahoma, she said, "How many 787's does Oklahoma buy?".
I don't think it makes a difference who gets the contract. EADS probably would have had more US construction.
Boeing, home of the Boeing P-51, F-15 and F-18, oh and the famous Boeing MD-80.

Donaldo, remember the Staggerwing Raytheon? Heck, when I was a kid the only thing Raytheon was known for was the component that blew up Apollo 13.
