KITTANNING, Pa. (AP) The steel mills and coal mines of western Pennsylvania helped fuel the nation's economic engine. Today, old factory shells and boarded-up storefronts stand as bleak reminders of those once-prosperous times.
But the voters in working-class enclaves such as this still are a sought-after prize in presidential politics, and many are belatedly coming around to Democratic nominee Barack Obama.

Okay...now they are the noble “working class whites” when it seems they won’t vote for McCain Palin - when they vote for McCain Palin then the media calls them “trailer-trash, rednecks” and any other assorted demeaning descriptors.
All of the MSM all over the world really needs to go away, forever! They are a bunch of leftist elitist SOB’s! Let all of the “New Media” take over instead from now on.
I don’t know that there’s anything I particularly like about him (Obama), but I dislike McCain, and I dislike the way the country is, and Republicans need to change,” said lifelong Republican Ruth Ann Michel, 64, a retiree shopping in a market in Butler on a recent day
Amazing how they find these “lifelong Republicans” to support their stories..
I personally know a family of 14 Democrats who have NEVER voted for a Republican who will be voting for McCain (they’re in Wisconsin)..
Sad....Americans no longer even try to be Americans anymore...just uninformed whiners.
Folk, let’s bury our heads down and JUST PLOW FORWARD to election day.
Don’t look at what’s hitting you, JUST PLOW FORWARD to election day.
Don’t listen to what you hear, JUST PLOW FORWARD to election day.
Don’t be discouraged by what you see, JUST PLOW FORWARD to election day.
Repeat this to everyone you know!
Don’t give up, THIS IS TOO IMPORTANT!
McCain LIVE in Lakeville, Minnesota-—right now!!!!!

...”lifelong Republican Ruth Ann Michel, 64, a retiree”...
Life-long Republican favoring Obama? Right....try life-long lying dimwit.
Ping
I would venture to say that there are very few “lifelong Republicans” in that part of Pennsylvania, but plenty of “Reagan Democrats”. This story sounds a little fishy.....
Must have been the same one that called Rush this afternoon.
Psy Ops.
exactly. the media is trying to deceive us any way they can.
EVER.

AP losing ground with working-class whites
Well, this kind of depends on which part of Kittanning. I’m sure downtown Tarrentum isn’t a bastion of Republicans, but the outlying areas sure are. Same with Leet, or Sewickely, or Wexford...Western PA is easy pickens for shaping an op-ed hit piece..
lies....
I can’t believe the citizens of Pennsylvania are stupid enough to vote for Obama. Let the blood be on their hands!!
