Ohio Democrats get pro-Obama message
By JULIE CARR SMYTH, Associated Press Writer

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Ohio G — this time, delivering it to Democratic presidential nominee-in-waiting Barack Obama. Strickland, noting that he had backed Hillary Rodham Clinton for the Democratic nomination, said she would want him to deliver a message.

"Barack Obama is the nominee of our party. He is a bright, committed, energizing young leader," Strickland said at the Ohio Democratic Party's annual dinner. "I met with him yesterday in Chicago and I pledged to him then, as I had previously, that I will work my heart out for him and that Ohio will work her heart out for him." "Aren't you glad to be a Democrat?" Strickland shouted. "Aren't you really, really, really angry with George W. Bush and Dick Cheney?"

Democratic governors who won election in states that twice backed Bush have lessons to offer Obama, one of those governors said. "The door of the White House only opens through Ohio," said Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, a Democrat from a traditionally Republican state.

Sebelius, daughter of former Ohio Gov. John Gilligan, touted Obama's credentials and "Kansas values." She said Obama would be superior to presumptive Republican nominee John McCain on kitchen-table issues Ohioans care about, such as health care, affordable education and home foreclosures.

3. I noted that, too.

Hate to be a spelling "Nazi" here on DU, but let's get it right.

7. We are not spelling "Nazis"!

If we expect the education in the United States to be tip top then we need to impress on others the need for correct spelling. We should expect the best of our children, the parents, the teachers, the school admins and our government.

Republican followers tend not to spell correctly yet they advocate the philosophy of everyone pulling themselves up by their bootstraps. Spelling correctly is one of those bootstraps that assist in pulling themselves up.

Part of the problem with misspelling words occurs because of using computers. The level of competency in using the keyboard might be a factor. But it is not a good excuse considering that spell checker is available AND that mistakes can be corrected easily compared to using pen and paper or the nearly obsolete typewriter.

Everyone do need to do more proof reading of their work. Even in the case of DU postings proof read after it is posted and edit when changes are needed.

Depending on the post I might even check the original article to see if one might have copy and paste from the original and the mistake lies in the original author. Even major print and electronic media spell words incorrectly. And they absolutely should not be.

And you are right that we should get it right.

8. I'm on your side.

As the 1964 winner of my junior high school spelling bee, all I can say is,

Here I stand. I can do no other.

(Sorry to see that "Everyone do need" line, though . . .)

4. Actually, a labor issue may also boost Obama

Just as the gay-marriage amendment brought out voters in droves and helped Bush "win" Ohio in 2004, a proposal for guaranteed sick-day time is expected to bring out voters who will then vote for Obama:
