By Nico Machlitt, ThreeSixty

Matt Feverson, a bike mechanic and restaurant chef in Minneapolis, voted for Barack Obama in 2008. This year, his support is tinged by disappointment that Obama hasn’t accomplished more in his first term.

We’ve never met but, turns out, are both from back East. Long Island, N.Y. I ran cross-country against his high school team. We both went to the State of University of New York at Stony Brook. By the time we get to Big V's, the coincidences have piled up until it feels like an episode of The Twilight Zone.
