Presidential Race in Rural America

AM 580 News has teamed up with public radio journalists around the nation to look at the presidential race from the perspective of rural America.  Tom Rogers and Jeff Bossert contributed to the series, which examines health care, ethanol, small business, immigration and other topics that hit home for people in America’s heartland—and how Barack Obama and John McCain are addressing them.
