Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama is scheduled to roll through Ohio this week on a five-city bus tour culminating at a Columbus rally.
Officials for Obama’s Ohio campaign office said the Illinois senator’s American Jobs Tour will begin with a stop Thursday in Dayton. Obama is expected to promote his plan to bring more jobs to the state and the country.
The two-day tour will end in Columbus, at a spot that hasn’t yet been determined.
Tickets aren’t required at the events, but an RSVP at www.oh.barackobama.com is encouraged.

Hot Hot Hot. This is our chance to turn out the Cbus for Sen. Obama!
I took Friday afternoon off, so I might get a chance to actually go to one of these weekday rallies!
I think the media thinks there’s a bigger financial crisis than there is because they’re covering all these events that happen on 3 o’clock on a Wednesday while most people are working!
Cool. They have RSVPs available for all the locations except Cols. Someone please post when the Cols. one is ready?
My RSVP is in…

I just sent in my RSVP and one for my undecided mom! I’m hoping seeing him in person will firmly plant her on Obama’s side.
Just R.S.V.P.d
I cannot go to this. My sister is getting married this weekend in South Carolina. Bummer. Even if I was stuck at work, I work high up on the West side of the Huntington building and could at least watch the crowds out my window. Oh well.

Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee for president, will be in Ohio next week to prepare for his final debate against Sen. John McCain, the Republican nominee.
Obama and McCain are scheduled to debate Wednesday, Oct. 15, at Hofstra University in New York. The Obama campaign did not disclose where in Ohio Obama will prepare for the debate, saying those details will come later.
Obama is scheduled to begin a two-day bus tour in Ohio tomorrow. He will go to Dayton, Cincinnati and Portsmouth Thursday, and Chillicothe and Columbus on Friday.

i aint treking my ass down there to see springstein again. obama better be there…
I’m so bummed. I have to do this stupid online training thing at 11am now. If the gates just open at 11 that means he’s probably not going on for awhile. I wonder if I could just sit outside of the park with my laptop, do the training, and then come in when I finish. Damn Damn Damn. Suck it J P M C and your stupid new catalog BS :cry:
From the format of the other events, it looked like doors (gates, whatever) an hour before the speech. I RSVPed, but won’t be able to make it until noon.
And I guess I didn’t really RSVP. I just gave the campaign lots of information about me and then got an email that said I didn’t RSVP, and space is limited. What a sucker I am. So maybe I won’t hear it.
Yeah, I felt like a sucker too. RSVP’d yesterday and wouldn’t you know it, Joe Biden HIMSELF sent me an email this morning! Amazing :roll:
I planned on going today, but then heard also that he won’t be on until 1:20- gates open at 11- I work in the brewery district and have an hour lunch- I don’t think I could even make it in 1 1/2 hours :cry:
Plus the finance world does not wait that long! :P
JUST GOT BACK! IT WAS AWESOME. He waved at me.
Just got back too… It was pretty awesome. The most polite crowd ever except all the litter that was left over. There were like two containers there. Luckily a bunch of people found trash bags and started picking it up with me and Chewla. Despite the littering, I was very impressed.
Yeah, that’s something I wondered as I exited – whether or not all those plastic water bottles would be recycled. I couldn’t tell if the garbage cans were meant specifically for recyclables.
Obama said all the right things. He justified my vote for him (I voted on Monday), but I certainly hope he lives up to the things he promises.
I thought it was OK. I guess I just have views that are more nuanced than a platform and was suspicious of crowd mentality of the rally. I really didn’t like when the crowd booed McCain and Palin. Don’t hate the other side. Obama should have stopped that. I liked about 80% of what he said. I thought his idea for a second economic stimulus check is insane. But I think McCain is more insane. I didn’t enjoy the man with the big floppy hat in front of me, and the woman with big hair that kept moving. It was hard to see.
