I plan to vote early tomorrow for President Obama. I am dissappointed by all the money that is spent on attacks ads. This money could have been better spent to help the poor in our country, the homeless, the unemployed, uninsured and reduce the deficit. Is there any possibility that there could be an end to this type of political campaign spending in the future?

by MJ Buehner 10/30/2012 12:15:36 AM
obama is who we need.

by tina 10/30/2012 12:17:35 AM
It seems no matter how you slice the numbers, momentum and thus voters are moving to Romney. Romney & Ryan appear to be the only real hope for change we have. President Obama has taken too much time off an hasn't learned the job yet.

If the Prez gets re-elected he'll inherit a mess from the past 4 years.

by Joe from Parma 10/30/2012 12:37:27 AM
Obama didnt lie to america. He said 4 yrs ago that it would take nor 4..maybe not 8.but maybe more years to get us out of the mess ghat was created. Now people are angry because it didn't happen in 4 yrs. Go back and listen to his speech. It takes 7 yrs go get rid of bad personal debt..and u expect him to fix America in 4. Go Obama..

The President definitely has an advantage with early voters. In many cases, I have heard that with 30% of the people voting, the President is getting about 65% of those votes while Mitt is getting 35%. However, 70% of voters still need to vote, and with the momentum going Romney's way, we may see Ohio covered in red this November. I put my money on Romney taking Ohio and Wisconsin, and pulling a narrow victory in the election. The latest poll by Rasmussen has Romney up 2 points. Rasmussen is often discredited quickly by Democrats; however, it was the most accurate poll in the 2008 election.

by John 10/30/2012 12:56:14 AM
I am definitely leaning Romney right now. I was almost convinced after seeing some videos about Obama, including this one www.youtube.com

by John 10/30/2012 12:57:33 AM
Yes Rocky, Obama did lie. www.youtube.com Many times. ALL politicians lie

by Matt 10/30/2012 1:00:42 AM
I have the best view in the house. Everybody on the phone getting folks to volunteer and vote early. #OHVote instagr.am

I am so tired of the negativity and the bashing of the people running for offices. Look at the facts and statistics. We need a president that can move forward - Obama had his chance - he hasn't done anything in the past four years. I am proud to say I am voting for Mitt Romney.

by concerned citizen 10/30/2012 11:56:21 PM
Tell the people how the Koch brothers figure intot his campaign, what Romney has promised them

by jmm 10/31/2012 12:08:09 AM
The lack of leadership with Benghazi helped me decide who I wanted to lead us in the next four years.

by steven 10/31/2012 12:29:16 AM
Romney has given us a plan President Obama has only given us attacks on untrue facts. Too many of his attcks have been proven wrong.

by steven 10/31/2012 12:31:56 AM
Funny President Obama will stay back to watch over a storm but chooses to go to Las Vegas the day after we have a terrorist attack and four Americans murdered.

by steven 10/31/2012 12:33:13 AM
Obama will not benefit from the storm, it will be the storm of Benghazi that decide his fate on Nov.6th.

by steven 10/31/2012 12:34:27 AM
Has anyone discussed the blatantly false ads Romney's now running with respect to the auto industry?

by Havarti Boursin 10/31/2012 12:35:31 AM
Do you think the President should be going to New Jersey tomorrow and taking away some of the first responder's so he can have a photo op which is the only reason for it.

I think Ohio dont forget how the auto industry has been saved. Dont be fooled by the lies from Romney that have been rejected by the CEO of Chrysler. Lets wake up and show him that we were paying attention when he said let Detriot go bankrupt.

by theordinarypeople 11/2/2012 12:47:36 AM
Please get out and vote and bring a friend dont wait for Tuesday there will be long lines.
