McArthur, Vinton County in Ohio at the foothills of the Appalachians seems forgotten. Once the trail of pioneers and fortunes of coal. Now a symbol on a ordinary American small town. 2000 inhabitans, guns, pick-ups, decline in jobs and everyday talk of the local high school football team “Vikings”. With Athens, Ohio to the north, Kentucky to the south and West Virginia to the east other stories seems more important. But the town and the people living here votes. Not for Obama, because it’s Romney country. They are looking for hope.
