Average Joe Buckeye Blitz cont.<\/strong><\/em> Was interviewed by Wheeling, West Virginia’s newspaper per: a whistle-stop in Martin’s Ferry, Ohio today. I said a “common sense” answer to our country’s energy situation is for some to: house share. Not only would two families share, say, the energy needed to heat a place; but conversely, they would cut their energy expense in half. I then told a reporter from the Times Leader <\/em>that in tandem with this strategy, our administration would focus on developing better clean, renewable energy alternatives (wind, solar, hydro-electric…). It’s just good “environmental stewardship,” I said. I then headed west to Cambridge, Ohio where I was interviewed by The Jeffersonian <\/em>newspaper there. On my way in, I contacted the editor who said: “Oh yeah, I know you. You’re, like, ‘nobody’s Joe.'” (No, that’s ‘everybody’s Joe,’ I smiled to myself). After the interview, reporter Dan Davis offered quite an idea. He said the eastern part of the country, with the recent flooding and all, has more than enough water. Why not build a transcontinental pipe line and send water out west where there is currently a drought? Good thought. [While stumping in Martin’s Ferry last night, Roger Kinney came up and said he was quite supportive of what I was doing. “I have the choice of 31 flavors of ice cream at Baskin Robins, but I only really have the choice of two presidential candiates,” he scoffed. Actually, if our campaign was likened to a flavor, I’d have to go with: Rocky Road — because, at times, it has been one.] Note: For those of you reading these entries, and are behind the campaign, we need supporting “letters to the editor” of Ohio newspapers. Thanks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
