“average JoeOhio Tour” cont:<\/strong> \u00a0 We are back in Ohio… \u00a0 Early this week we stumped in downtown Wadsworth during an outdoor town basketball tournament. \u00a0 We then went to nearby Silver Creek Park where we talked with a group of older couples who had come here to exercise. \u00a0 Healthcare became the predominant part of the conversation, with several people expressing dismay that the AMA in general, and most traditional physicians in specific, \u00a0aren’t more accepting of natural medicines. \u00a0 For instance, one woman said she uses red rice yeast — which is recommended by some homeopaths — to help with her cholestoral level… \u00a0 The next day we stumped at a park in Barberton that hosted Silver League Softball. \u00a0 This is for adults age 60, or older. \u00a0 And judging by how \u00a0most of these guys still get around the bases, it’s apparent some of them are taking red rice yeast… We did a whistle-stop in Barberton, Ohio, the next day. \u00a0 A reporter from Channel 5<\/em> News<\/em> out of Cleveland mentioned to my wife Liz that it was apparent we didn’t have the same budget as the rest of the more high-profile candidates. \u00a0 Liz responded that the last presidential campaign topped $1 billion — \u00a0for the first time. \u00a0 Liz said she thought that money could be better spent on, say, children sleeping on inner city streets or children starving in the Third World. \u00a0 The reporter said that was a good point… \u00a0 We then stumped with a group of Kiwanis who were gathered in a nearby park in Barberton. \u00a0 One man said that we have lost almost any semblence of common sense in D.C. \u00a0 I said: “Yep.” \u00a0 …The next day a story appeared about us on the front page of the Akron Beacon Journal<\/em> with a headline that read: \u00a0 White House or Bust…<\/strong> \u00a0 (That’s on the back window of our campaign vehicle, done with white shoe polish.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
