Khari Enaharo, a 63-year-old retiree in swing-state Ohio, was part of MSNBC's undecided voters panel for the most recent presidential debate. From theGrio, about this probably centrist voter: "'Black middle class gains have been wiped out. Black male
unemployment is high. Black females [sic] net worth is low. Those issues
are important to me and they are being ignored,' he told MSNBC in a
survey prior to the debate."
Mr. Enaharo, who voted for Obama in 2008, believes that blacks are being ignored by both presidential campaigns: "Enaharo told NBC’s Ron Allen, 'The one who addresses [my concerns] effectively will get my vote. The
conventions and debates were show and tell. It didn’t speak to those
issues. Americans are suffering in silence.' Enaharo still doesn’t seem to have made a decision. 'Neither [candidate] has addressed the issues of the worsening
plights of the African-American Communities....Legislatively, in debates,
discussion, we remain invisible. Yet I am being pressed for my vote.
What’s in it for us? How will our situation improve?'"
