Obama, Biden make pitch for Strickland in Cleveland
CLEVELAND - Making his final campaign appearance before Tuesday's midterm elections, President Barack Obama came back to Ohio with Vice President Job Biden yesterday to make a final argument that Gov. Ted Strickland and other Democrats deserve to remain in power.
"In two days, you have the chance to set the direction of this country and this state," Obama said at the "Moving America Forward" rally.
The visit was Obama's 12th to Ohio since taking office and second in two weeks, following an Oct. 17 rally at Ohio State University. It was part of a final push to encourage Democratic turnout in a region critical to the re-election hopes of Strickland, who is locked in a tight race in the polls with Republican John Kasich.
