MAUMEE: Vice presidential candidate Joe Biden is kicking off a two-day bus tour of Ohio in suburban Toledo.
Biden will start off Wednesday in Maumee and then travel east to Wooster for an afternoon rally.
His tour is taking him across northern Ohio to areas hit hard by job losses.
Biden has been traveling the Midwest this week talking about the economy. In Michigan, he blamed the Bush administration for inaction in the face of sharp cuts in automotive jobs.
Biden will be in Canton for a rally at the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Thursday. He'll also make stops in the Akron and Youngstown areas.

Perhaps the driver will take a wrong turn and drive over to illinois. Don't need no snake oil salesman around these parts.

Like McCain is any better

Grrr... this election is just frustrating. Black people are voting for Obama, not because of what he plans for our country, but because he is black. White people are voting for him simply because he's not republican. Just because McCain is republican, does not make him George W. Bush!!!! Educate yourselves on the facts. Obama is inexperienced and he will turn our country into turmoil. He has no respect for our soldiers and what they have done to promote freedom and fight to keep our land safe. McCain is experienced and educated and will end the war in Iraq the right way! Vote McCain/Palin in 2008!

Jessica, I had an excellent post an education comparison among the candidates, but the ABJ is being biased as usual and won't show the post. But for those of you being disenfranchised by ABJ's new post forum, TOPIX is still up and running and not taking sides, like the ABJ.

This theme of black people voting for Obama; check the black democratic candidate vote historically. Blacks have voted for the Democratic Candidate for president at like 85% to 95% rates for decades. Besides although Obama is clearly half black he is also half white. He was raised by his white Mother and her parents who moved from Kansas to Hawaii.On his mother's side Obama is even descended from a number of US presidents. Check it out in major news sources.

From Dreams of My Father: 'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.' From Dreams of My Father : 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.' From Dreams of My Father: 'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.' From Dreams of My Father: 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.' From Dreams of My Father: 'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself , the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.' And FINALLY the Most Damming one of ALL of them!!! From Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslim s should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.' Think you know who this man is? This possible President of the United States ?? Read Below and ask yourselves, is this REALLY someone we can see as the President of our great nation!!!! Below are a few lines from Obama's books; In his words * If you have never forwarded an e-mail, now is the time to Do so!!!! We CANNOT have someone with this type of mentality running our GREAT nation!! I don't care whether you a Democrat or a Conservative. We CANNOT turn ourselves over to this type of character in a President. PLEASE help spread the word!

Educate yourselves on the facts... http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/did_obama_write_that_he_would_stand.html

Here we go again. Obama is NOT Muslim. Just because the Republicans say it a billion times does NOT make it so. Check your facts!
