With just over 30 days left before November 4th, candidates and political parties are vying for your vote. Here in Ohio, large numbers of people are voting early or by absentee ballot. If you vote early or wait to vote November 4th, be sure to have your picture ID.
I'm just waiting for the onslaught of smear ads from the GOP. Since Ohio is a "battleground state," we've already seen some of them. The Republicans and their supporter groups like Vets for Freedom and others, will do anything to win, even lie.
The good news about the early voting in Ohio is that busloads and carloads of people are going to the polls to vote for Barack Obama. However, if we recall recent history, the Republicans may still pull some dirty tricks in Ohio. Don't underestimate their willingness to lie, cheat and steal the election.
* Bruce Springsteen will appear on the Oval at Ohio State on Sunday afternoon, October 5th. He is appearing at Ohio State to support Barack Obama and early voting. The concert is free.
* Bill Press has some vital information:
John McCain's tax plan helps the rich. He is only looking out for himself because he and wife Cindy would save $373,429 if his tax plan were enacted.
Here is more from Think Progress:
In a new Center for American Progress Action Fund analysis, Michael Ettlinger documents how much the presidential candidates stand to personally benefit from the McCain and Obama tax proposals. The McCains — who report an annual income of over $6 million — would receive well over $300,000 from John McCain’s tax plan. By contrast, both the Obamas and McCains would receive a substantial, albeit much smaller, savings under Obama’s tax plan....
Isn't that nice? McCain would pay $300,000 less in taxes with his own tax plan. I call that pure greed.
