SAINT LOUIS, Missouri (AFP) - When Barack Obama's campaign bus made a swing through Missouri in July, the unlikeliest of supporters were waiting for him -- or rather two of them, holding the banner: "Rednecks for Obama."
snip
Tony Viessman, 74, and Les Spencer, 60, got politically active last year when it occurred to them there must be other lower income, rural, beer-drinking, gun-loving, NASCAR race enthusiasts fed up with business as usual in Washington.

Viessman had a red, white and blue "Rednecks for Obama" banner made, and began causing a stir in Missouri, which has emerged as a key battleground in the run-up to the November 4 presidential election.

"We believe in him. He's the best person for the job," Viessman, a former state trooper from Rolla, said of Obama, who met the pair briefly on that July day in Union, Missouri.

A bit of trivia. Rednecks for Obama started in early 2007.

Well, I think it's dandy that there is a few rednecks for Obama... Wait 'til he gets elected and fets the DNC for field a NASCAR race car!!! That's gonna be somethin'... Maybe he hires Sarah Palin to drive it... lol...

But nevermind these rednecks fir a minute 'cause Iz startin' my own organization called "Hillbillies Fir Obama"... And if ya'll want to9 join then just PM me an you is in... Of course there is that little situation where ya' gotta send $15 to Obama's campaign, agree to work at least 10 hours for Obama and donate half the deer you kill this year to folks that is poorer than you... But that's 'bout it...

There was an ad on tv the other night of a gun owner, a member of the NRA, and it was a pro-Obama ad, with the usual tag at the end.

For both of these guys, health care is a huge issue that makes them support Obama.
