Obama-Biden "American Jobs Tour" -- South Ohio -- Thursday

Like Daniel entering the Lion's Den, Barack and Joe will step through "the Land of the Lyin'" (our official motto - no offense) on Thursday. The three-city tour will include rallies in Dayton, Cincinnati, and the place that's been most patient, Portsmouth.

All the rallies for "American Jobs" are free and open to the public. The schedule is:

11 am (gates open at 9) Fifth Third Field Dayton
3:00 pm (gates open at 1) Ault Park Cincinnati
7:30 pm (gates open at 5:30) Shawnee State U./Alumni Green Portsmouth

Friday's schedule is yet to be announced -- perhaps they will stay in the area?

While Obama has campaigned in Dayton and Cincinnati before, this marks the first time that he has come within eighty miles of Portsmouth. Since I've been urging Barack to visit the deep Buckeye south since January, I'll say a lot more about the Portsmouth leg of the tour below the fold. Consider this a case study in the Politics of Hope meets the Pit of American Decline.
