President Obama Working to Keep Indiana Blue

During the 2008 presidential election, Indiana turned purple. The formerly solid red Republican state voted for President Obama. Now the President is working to keep the battleground state on his team. He visits Elkhart, Indiana, today, where the unemployment rate is one of the highest in the country as the biggest industry in the area, RV manufacturing, is experiencing a downturn. President Obama will speak at the site of the largest RV plant in the region about a new government program that could help the beleagured area. The Takeaway talks to Tony Krabill, reporter for WVPE public radio, about local anticipation of the president’s appearance and to two people who were laid off last year, Ed Neufeldt and Denise Sexton.
