The miners said Obama’s campaign team is running ads filled with “blatantly false” statements about the miners regarding their participation in Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s August campaign stop at the Century Mine. These ads assert that the miners were forced to attend the event by the mine’s owner, Robert Murray.

I’ve seen the ad (live in OH on the WV border)...it’s so nauseatingly false I about threw something at my husband’s beloved big flat-screen TV.

Romney signs everywhere down here (including my front-yard and both vehicles). Obama signs are almost non-existent. Romney takes Ohio—you heard/read it here, folks! ;)
