Life in a Swing State: Rust Belt Alert!
I promised to feret out any Presidential campaign's use of the term "Rust Belt" to refer to Ohio.
Here's one prominent one. Matt Compton of the White House wrote a blog with the "R" word in the title on the WhiteHouse.gov website a few weeks ago. I'll link to it only for proof purposes.
Compton is a media relations person from North Carolina. No forgiveness though.
Rust Belt is a pejorative, Matt.
