RENO, Nev. (AP) -- A Reno woman who chatted with President Barack Obama during his visit Friday to northern Nevada says she's leaning toward voting for him in November but hasn't decided for sure.
After the presidential motorcade left her home, 66-year-old Val Keller said the economy will make her decision.
Obama met with Keller and her husband, Paul, to help put a real face on the nation's housing woes. He said the couple had benefited from executive action he took that made it easier to refinance a mortgage and is now saving $240 a month.
Val Keller declined to say who she voted for in 2008. But she said her family was excited about Obama's visit.
Obama became the first Democrat to win Republican-leaning Washoe County since Lyndon Johnson in 1964, but he faces a taller task this time around given Nevada's sluggish economy.
