COLUMBUS, Ohio (Reuters) - Former steelworker Bill Hartley doesn't give Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama a ringing endorsement, but his top concern is free trade, so he said he doesn't want another Republican in the White House.

"I'm not sure what we're going to get with Barack Obama, but I'm going to support him, because what's the alternative?" said Hartley, 50, who was a steelworker in this Midwestern state for 15 years before he was disabled on the job.
