I had a few hours before class to volunteer here in Columbus, and on my walk through campus, found OSU PLASTERED with signs, stickers, chalk and posters, and kids out everywhere pushing the vote. I thought you might want to check out the mood here in Ohio...

Last weekend I went to the Circleville Pumpkin Show in south-central Ohio (a.k.a. "real," "pro-America" Ohio) and to my pleasant surprise, fellow Obama supporters like this guy

were out representing in force...

I know there's another diary up, but I thought you'd like to see more pics from the Springsteen rally today at Ohio State. Can you really ever get enough of Bruce? There's nothing like hearing the Boss speak the gospel...

Got Hope? Ohio does.
Polling guru Nate Silver says if McCain loses Ohio, there is only a 1.49% chance he can win the election. In alphabetic translation, folks, that's what's known as "slim to none."
As of this moment, there are 33 days and 15 hours left until November 4th. 33 days. 16 hours.
Want to make history? Here's how you can:

Barack Obama and Joe Biden say, "Come to Ohio."

Well, folks, looks like the GOP is floundering for some talking points. So who do they turn to? Why Kristol the Butcher of course. He's sharpened his pen to dish up some red meat for all the lie-hungry, drama-hungry Americans out here...
Kristol asks, "Can McCain WIN?"

He has a chance. But only if he overrules those of his aides who are trapped by conventional wisdom, huddled in a defensive crouch and overcome by ideological timidity. He has a chance. But only if he overrules those of his aides who are trapped by conventional wisdom, huddled in a defensive crouch and overcome by ideological timidity.

Bill, Bill, Bill--so now you say McCain's "only chance" to win is if he...becomes a leader?

When alienation has abjured even the residents of Lake Wobegon, and when it's been replaced by righteous outrage, you know the country is in trouble--and you know it knows. In today's Salon, Garrison Keillor uses the context of Paulson's Ploy to rip McCain on his hypocrisy, and scold the Republican Party for abandoning both its principles and its responsibility to the American people. Country first? Whose country? Keillor asks us to remember...and to question.

After watching the malicious speeches last night mocking Senator Obama, and by proxy, cynically attacking all of us who support our local communities, I thought it would be prudent to educate the Republican Party on the historical role of community organizers. For a quick reminder, let's recap Giuliani's snark:

He worked as a community organizer. (Laughter) What?...Barack Obama has never led anything, nothing, nada.

And Palin's vacuous follow-up:

This world of threats and dangers, it's not just a community and it doesn't just need an organizer. (Laughter.)

That these bastions of the GOP would denigrate the importance of community organizers on the same night their party nominates its first female vice presidential candidate shows an utter disrespect for the people of this country and a laughable ignorance of the power we wield. This is what community organizers do...

Just thought I'd share with you my perspective on events from the front row at Dublin-Coffmann H.S. last night. What a rally!

I’ve been hearing quite a bit about McCain's veep pick over the last 24 hours. But I’m through listening. Because I've heard John McCain...

I've heard John McCain say, "the fundamentals of the economy are strong."
I've heard John McCain say, "I think...I'll have my staff get to you. It's condominiums where...I'll have them get to you."
I’ve heard John McCain say, "Americans have got to understand that we are paying present-day retirees with the taxes paid by young workers in America today. And that's a disgrace. It's an absolute disgrace and it's got to be fixed."
I've heard John McCain say, "The issue of economics is not something I've understood as well as I should. I've got Greenspan's book."
I’ve heard John McCain say, "I think if you're just talking about income, how about $5 million?"
I’ve heard John McCain say, "Today, for example, 1.3 million people in the world make a living off eBay, most of those are in the United State of America."
I've heard John McCain say, "We have a lot of work to do. It's a very hard struggle, particularly given the situation on the Iraq-Pakistan border."
And...
