TweetIt’s not a bird, it’s Air Obama
Democrat Barack Obama’s presidential campaign is going to be flying high at Ohio’s State’s football game with Minnesota on Saturday, Sept. 27.
During pre-game activities at Ohio Stadium, Obama’s campaign will take to the air in a small plane trailing information about the start of early voting in Ohio on Tuesday, Sept. 30, the campaign announced.
The plane’s banner will urge Obama-Biden supporters to visit:
www.VoteForChange.com http://www.VoteForChange.com
or call 877-OH-EARLY for more information.
Obama-Biden volunteers will be working the tailgate parties and bars around the stadium with early voting material.
The volunteers won’t tell anybody, but McCain-Palin supporters also can vote early.
No word yet on whether Joe Biden, Obama’s vice presidential running mate, will try to help out. Biden might not be welcome. He promised fans back in his home state of Delaware that their football team would kick the behinds of the Buckeyes.
The deadline to register to vote in Ohio is October 6th, and Ohioans can begin voting in-person on September 30th at county boards of election.

TweetWhat question would you ask McCain and Obama?
Now that tonight’s presidential debate in Mississippi is officially on, all we can do is hope Jim Lehrer asks some good, hard-hitting questions.
With the economy, gas prices, war and so many other issues on voters’ minds, what’s the one question you would ask John McCain and Barack Obama if you were the debate moderator?
