Happy G? I posted the article title.

I bet these are really ACORN black people who are putting on Whiteface makeup to fool the pollers.

KITTANNING, Pa. - 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 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.

He is ahead in Virginia. McCain is not able to hold on to the states that bush won.

McCain has only been to Virginia twice before today.

Obama has been here seven times and Biden four times.

Obama's organization here is strong.
