But the voters in working-class enclaves such as this still are a sought-after prize in presidential politics, and many are belatedly backing Democratic nominee Barack Obama.
In the Democratic primaries, working-class whites consistently supported Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. Later polls showed them overwhelmingly favoring Republican nominee John McCain.
Now, driven by fears that their personal finances could further deteriorate, many see Obama as the better choice — their thinking in some cases driven more by concern about how McCain would handle the economy than any growing admiration for his rival.

What is wrong with that picture?
When will these people make up their minds already? They are confusing the polls and will probably get the data screwed up about their actual votes...

I am a typical white person to the Messiah, and I hate myself, so I guess I can cleanse my slave owning sins by voting for him.
I have already told two pollsters that I will vote for Hussein,
God Bless america
God bless Big oil

Personal interest shouldn't be a motivation for choosing a presidential candidate.
But eh, I'll take what I can get.
