Buckeye Back Road Tour cont.:<\/strong> \u00a0 We’re back in Cleveland for our final pit-stop of Campaign 2008. \u00a0 We are now at the 83,000 mile mark of campaigning over the past three election cycles, including two solid years of campaigning in Ohio. \u00a0 The Columbus Dispatch<\/strong><\/em> noted last week that I said one of the first things I’d do as president would be to “get everyone in Congress, on Wall Street, on Main Street… calculators that worked!” \u00a0 During an interview with the editor of the Franciscan University<\/em><\/strong> newspaper in Steubenville, Ohio, \u00a0last week, I said with 24,000 people starving to death in the Third World everyday (UN figure), I would push for much<\/em> more foreign aid (this is currently 4% of the country’s budget). \u00a0 Yesterday I told a reporter from the BG News<\/strong><\/em> at Bowling Green State University, that one of the first things I’d do when I got to D.C. was “change the national symbol from an eagle to a falcon (BG mascot). \u00a0 On a more serious note, I told the reporter that reversing climate change would be a top priority… \u00a0 The Cleveland Diocesan newspaper this week noted that I see the global warming as a pro-Life issue. \u00a0 “No world. \u00a0 No life…” \u00a0 Coming up the eastern side of Ohio, we put up fliers in such towns as Wellsville, Ravenna, Lisbon… \u00a0 Well,<\/em> when you don’t have the money for the million dollar advertising, a well-placed flier in a small town could be just the ticket to Pennsylvania Avenue. \u00a0 (And we continue to do this all without paid political consultants.) \u00a0 Note:<\/strong> \u00a0 ‘Joe the plumber’<\/strong> from Ohio? \u00a0 What about ‘Joe the presidential candidate’<\/strong> from Ohio, who could just impact the vote enough — to change the whole complexion of the race.<\/em> \u00a0 Remember Ohio during Campaign 2004?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
