In many ways, Keith Fountain's personal economic odyssey is North Carolina's.

After a decade at Lucent Technologies, Fountain was making $22 an hour working in the company's warehouse in Concord, northeast of Charlotte, when he was laid off in July 2009...

Fountain says he does not blame the president for his financial setbacks.

"I mean, there are some things he could have handled a bit different," Fountain says of the man he voted for in 2008, and for whom he intends to vote again this November. "But, for the most part, he's made every effort he can to turn things around. Just with the obstructionists in Congress and stuff, it's been hard to get anything done."

Ras has North Carolina 51 to Romney. I think Obama can give it up there. Ever since he revolved on gay marriage, the state has been out of play.

This is from Yahoo and the CEO of Yahoo is a big Obama bundler. I still use Yahoo Mail but I avoid their other sites as much as possible.

Keith sounds like one of the men that worked on my Dad’s farm years ago. Back when Humphrey was running for President he said he supported Humphrey because “... he’s going to get more money for the little guy ...”.

$22 bucks an hour working in a warehouse.

One of my first jobs was working at a Montgomery Wards warehouse for $1.35 an hour. 1961.

I understand the media has to make it look acceptable for whites to vote for Obama, but at the same time it must be killing them to admit a white Southerner is voting for Obama...

As a native born tarheel let me be the first to apologize to the world for the state producing such a clueless nitwit.

The associations of this kind of “journalism” to totalitarian propaganda are jarring...it is like the media is screaming to those who are white and worse off “LOOK! WE FOUND SOMEONE LIKE YOU...HE IS GOING TO VOTE OBAMA! YOU CAN DO IT, TOO!! IT WASN’T OBAMA’S FAULT, SEE? EVEN THIS POOR WHITE GUY SAYS SO!”
