From Townhall:
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.

My observation: I guess Kumbaya, which John McCain seems to regard as the national anthem, isn't as popular among conservative, blue-collar, Reaganite Democrats as the McCain camp figured.
