http://lakewood-oh.patch.com/articles/obama-coming-to-university-of-akronI go to grad school there. On the downside, parking will be a nightmare for students. On the upside, it's because he's so popular.

Considering big EV lead by Obama, winter weather on election day is not necessarily bad.

This isn't NJ. Beside, they were passing out tickets today. I only heard about it yesterday. My guess is that this is an alternative venue for events he cancelled on the East coast. Also, it is an indoor venue.

today in Florida and Ohio to cancel political events and be presidential. Sorry but potentially this is the case.

(33,497 posts)7. I hope things are under control enough that he does go to Akron.
I think he's doing the right thing by focusing on his job as president during this storm, but the fact that he isn't campaigning right now in what promises to be a very close election isn't helping his chances of winning the race. Hopefully, he'll have some more time by Wednesday to get back on the campaign trail and emerge victorious next Tuesday!!

For some reason, the tropical storm near the coast is pulling winter weather into OH.
