At the bar at Simeri's Old Town Tap, a watering hole on the outskirts of South Bend, a down-on-its-luck manufacturing town, conversation turns to Bill Clinton. One regular, appalled by the prospect of voting for either Barack Obama or Mitt Romney, is thinking of writing the former president's name on his ballot. Locals dislike Mr Obama's stance on social issues such as abortion and gay marriage, explains Brendan Mullen, the Democratic candidate for the area's seat in Congress. But they are only slightly more enthusiastic about Mr Romney, who reminds them of the absentee executives who show up at the factories where they work to announce lay-offs and closures. South Bend, Indiana, is typical in many ways of the largely white, working-class towns across the Midwest which will help to determine the outcome of the election.
