Obama Visits Ohio State

 I feel bad if you missed President Obama and Michelle Obama last night at Ohio State.  Besides the Obamas, Gov. Strickland, Lt. Gov. Fisher, Yvetter McGee-Brown, Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy, Mayor Coleman, and other dignitaries gave speeches and pumped up the volume on the upcoming elections.

The Lantern has some terrific pictures and a slideshow of the rally. You can view it HERE or on Youtube or below:



I really wonder where the reporter who posted the story for MSNBC was standing at the end of the Obama rally on the Oval at the Ohio State University. In a posting at MSNBC Politics Daily, Senior Correspondent Walter Shapiro, wrote this: 

...Yet watching the faces in the crowd at the Ohio State rally and listening to the chatter afterward as the largely student audience wandered toward the restaurants and bars on High Street, I had a sense that the Obama piece was still missing in action.....

Really.  As I walked off the Oval at the end of the rally, students, individuals, and families, were smiling and talking about how wonderful it was to see the Obamas and how hard they would work for the election.  Many people commented that they planned to go down to the Board of Elections and vote this week.
