President Obama Will Be in Columbus Today!

This morning, President Obama will be back in The Bus apparently to have a "backyard chat," as well as rally behind incumbent governor nominee Ted Strickland -- literally, it will be "in the backyard of an as-yet undisclosed family in Clintonville," according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

The Dispatch has the name and address of the family who'll be hosting: The Weithman family who live at 156 E. Kanawha Ave. It will be here that he discusses the state of our economy in the way of jobs or lack of them, and what's next in our plans for the nation and for the Central Ohio area to lower unemployment.

Here's a round-up of news sources with stories, and possibly, editorial comments included...

First Presidential Debate Watch Parties

Whatever side of the aisle you are sitting on you should go somewhere to watch the CNN Debates tonight. This morning, John McCain announced that he would go forward with the debates against Barack Obama tonight, so yes, they will be on and poppin'. Let's all watch and get more information from these candidates and learn more about them and their plans for our (slowly-declining) country. Arm yourself with truthful, fact-checkable knowledge going into the election on November 4th. And if you arent' registered to vote...what are you waiting for? It takes like 2 seconds, seriously. And if you aren't planning on voting (not including those who aren't able to, like non-citizens)....YOU'RE AN IDIOT!
