Southern whites troubled by Romney's wealth, religion

By Margot Roosevelt

LYNCHBURG, Virginia | Tue Sep 11, 2012 11:52am EDT

(Reuters) -

Sheryl Harris, a voluble 52-year-old with a Virginia drawl, voted twice for George W. Bush. Raised Baptist, she is convinced -- despite all evidence to the contrary -- that President Barack Obama, a practicing Christian, is Muslim.

So in this year's presidential election, will she support Mitt Romney? Not a chance.

"Romney's going to help the upper class," said Harris, who earns $28,000 a year as activities director of a Lynchburg senior center. "He doesn't know everyday people, except maybe the person who cleans his house." 

She'll vote for Obama, she said: "At least he wasn't brought up filthy rich."
