President Barack Obama Campaigns at Mentor High School

More than 4,000 supporters pack the school's gymnasium in support of the incumbent

President Barack Obama's visit to Mentor High School began with a "Go Cardinals" and ended with a request for the audience to hit the polls on election day.

Clinton Energizes Obama Supporters in Akron

According to local media outlets, former President Bill Clinton brought Obama supporters to their feet at the John S. Knight Center in downtown Akron on Thursday night.

It appears former President Bill Clinton can still wield some political thunder.  At least, that's how local media coverage described Clinton's rally at Akron's John S. Knight Center on Thursday night. In the home stretch to Election Day, Clinton brought hundreds of folks to their feet as he focused on job creation and the auto industry. Here's the roundup:  The Plain Dealer: Clinton touted Obama's multi-billion dollar auto bailout, saying the President's efforts created 200,000 new jobs versus losing 1 million. With that, he received one of many roars from the audience.  Fox 8 News: Clinton criticized Romney for his vagueness on balancing the budget and rejecting the auto bailout. Clinton charged that, if elected, Romney would hinder …

Supreme Court Approves Early Voting in Ohio During Weekend Before Elections

The high court decided against Ohio Republican-backed law to restrict early voting during the first weekend of November

Ohio voters who want to cast their ballots the weekend before Election Day will face no restrictions. The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday decided against issuing an order that would have ended the early voting period before the first weekend in November, NBC News reported. President Barack Obama's campaign pushed for voters to be able to hit the polls and won an appeal in the the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to block a law that would have limited the period. Ohio Secretary of State John Husted refused to enforce the appellate court decision, but the U.S. Supreme Court came down with a one-line decision against the Republican-backed effort to limit early voting. "The application for stay presented to Justice [Elena] Kagan and by her …

When did Bush promise to give you a life long job? You didn't plan, you didn't build marketable skills, you didn't give 100% and you blame other people. And we wonder why this nation is in the crapper. It will be okay. Obama promised jobs. If not, you can keep getting checks and a free cell phone until it runs out.   more ›

It literally blows my mind how anyone could "support" Mitt Romney. Most of the people I have spoken to that claim to "support" him, only do so because they dislike Obama. Romney is a spoiled, over privileged rich kid, who has had fun spending Daddy's money his whole life. Look up some of his famous quotes on youtube, like the one's where he talks about how much he "loves being rich and famous." …   more ›
