Original article: Barack Obama, working-class hero?

Here in PA

This is a riot. Reporters from around the world are looking for the guy named Bud, the laid-off tire factory worker who leaves his pickup truck only to go bowling or stop for a beer at the Elks Club. I have no idea who's going to win this state on April 22, or whether it matters in the least. But it's great fun watching y'all scurry through the mountains and hollers in search of the essential idiotic Pennsylvania voter. He is the key --- the key!! --- to victory in November. Good luck in your travels.
