Related: About this forumStein flies to wrong city for micro-rally...lol
I'm not sure which is funnier. That she flew to the wrong city (cuz all the presidential candidates are "doing" Cincinnati this week) or that there were "about 100 people" (campaign speak for "more than 10...just" waiting for her. Hell, in some parts of town - that's a crowded doctors waiting room.
yeah - she's a serious contender.
Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein was scheduled to speak at Capital University in Bexley at noon today but it looks like she's running a little late.
That's because instead of flying into Columbus, she accidentally went to Cincinnati instead, according to the Capital University Greens Student Organization who is sponsoring the event.
Yes. You read that correctly.
About 100 people are waiting at Schaaf Lawn on campus. It's unclear if they will all hang around while Stein drives up from Cincinnati, but pizzas are being ordered to thank people for their patience.

It's in Kentucky.
...and how we let that happen is just another tragic chapter in Cincinnati's totally f'ed up relationship with public transportation of any kind. We have figured out how to screw up airports, subways, buses, light rail, and taxi regulations. And we wonder why we're getting passed by.
