Barack Obamas political base always has been more creative class than working classand his policies have favored that base, seeming to cater to energized issue and identity constituencies including African-Americans, Hispanics, gays, and greens, often at the expense of blue-collar workers. Yet improving conditions for those workersparticularly in the industrial heartlandcould save his flagging presidency. The industrial zones four key statesMichigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvaniaconstitute the most critically contested territory in this years contest. Fifty-four electoral votes are at play here, with Pennsylvanias 20 votes alone equaling all those at stake in the much-ballyhooed battleground of the Intermountain West (Colorado, Nevada, and New Mexico).

Ditto for VA as well. We`ve had a couple good years since Bob McDonnell took office as Governor.
Yet, here comes 0bama to claim credit for the low employment and job growth.
McDonnell has been a good governor but the prosperity in NoVa is due to Obama. The Imperial Capital is prosperous with Emperor Obama on the throne.

True by virtue of government growth, but the private sector has grown substantially throughout the rest of the state.
My skin crawls everytime the cringeworthy 0bama campaigns in this state.
HAHAHAHA this is beyond wishful thinking
Obama will only carry IL and MN..the idea the RUST BELT will save him is beyond comical.
He has done everything in his power to disenfranchise working class white folks, (blue dog dems) which are abandoning him in droves across the rust belt. The idea he’s going to hold OH, IN, WI, PA and MI is laughable.
If he can’t win MI, he sure as hell won’t win any other state other than MN and IL and if he loses MN, he’ll lose more new england states than just NH.
PA will go ABØ and the marxist maggøt will go down in richly deserved flames of ignominy.
