It is being reported in the morning edition of the Columbus Dispatch that President Bush will be coming to Columbus today, Nov. 2, to help GOTV.
The article is not yet posted on the Dispatch's online site.
It appears to me that Pres. Bush is taking no chances with Ohio and doing everything he can to end Kerry's chances here.
Good! This time, unlike 2000, he's leaving nothing to chance. Last time, he took the weekend off while Gore and Lieberman went straight thru on election day for something like a 72 hour blitz. It almost worked.
Hope you're right and it's not due to OH leaning toward skerry.
Algore broke with tradition by doing Election Day last minute campaigning. The President wants to really make sure Ohio is put away for good.
Kerry will be in Boston, while the President will be in Ohio. Nice stratergy.
Mr. Bush will vote at the firehouse near his ranch in Crawford, Texas, and will stop off in Columbus, Ohio, on his way back to the White House. Vice President Dick Cheney will vote in Wilson, Wyoming, and will make a lunchtime appearance in Waukesha, Wisconsin, before heading to D.C.
Great news . . . W wants this one, that's for sure . . .
Kerry spent the night in Wisconsin and is flying back to Boston to watch the results. Kerry is worn down by the stress of the campaign or he would also make a GOTV appearance in Ohio, too.
Team Bush had said Bush was returning to Texas today and made no mention of an Election Day Ohio appearance. I hope Bush gets back to Crawford in time to vote for himself.
Bush kept the Ohio trip a secret until after Kerry was asleep in Wisconsin. Kerry wanted to spend election day in Boston. I guess he'll be able to watch President Bush on TV making calls to Ohio voters. Stratergy!
I thought I heard that Kerry was going to be in Ohio today also ??
Kerry spent the night in Wisconsin and was flying back to Boston this morning. If he changes his plans, it shows he's a follower, not a leader.
I was hoping he would do that. Nothing like that to get up the troops.

Kerry stopped in Toledo en route to Wisconsin for the rest of the night. He was flying home to Boston to vote and await a verdict that no one could foretell with confidence
May the winds be at your backs, Bush voters in Ohio!
Good news! - Take nothing for chance - Everyone bring at least 5 others to vote today -
He was in Dallas last night so he made it to Crawford probably late. The rally got over about 11pm CST.
First off - are you in OH??
Secondly, I doubt very much voter turnout will be 25 times normal - up about 5% tops (IMO).
