*POTUS speaking now, in Sandusky, OH,

[elleng]

msnbc.

OOPS, he just misspoke: 'As I travel across Illinois. . . .'

HOT out there.

[patrice]

1. Is there a White House link? I don't get MSNBC.

[RockyMtnGuy]

2. how are the crowds?

Watching MSNBC now, but they're not really showing the audience. How big are the crowds in OH?

[elleng]

4. Same, can't tell,

but he made a couple stops on his way from Maumee. Hope we hear about it later.

[Journeyman]

3. Probably just me, but I'd have avoided any association with 'Sandusky' this election cycle . . .

Nothing against the good people who live there. Just one of those names with a temporary recognition problem.

[elleng]

5. Gotcha, but not exactly practical

as its a fairly large spot along Ohio's northern tier.

[Junkdrawer]

12. Can/would a town change its name....

There's a Hitler Road in Ohio but no town/city name Hitler. Wonder if there was before WW II

[LeftofObama]

6. Maybe he'll stop by Cedar Point.

Best amusement park I've ever been to, and that includes Disneyland and Disneyworld.

[elleng]

7. I thought that might have been why he went there,

crowds and all, but the heat might deter him and others.
Wonder where he's going next, and for this evening. Pennsylvania tomorrow.

[LeftofObama]

8. I wonder where he's going this evening too.

Maybe Cleveland since he's heading east. Other than Cleveland I don't know of a hotel in the suburbs big enough to accommodate a President along with his security detail, press, etc.

[elleng]

9. Nothing in Youngstown, Akron, eh?

Yea, maybe Cleveland.

I suppose they're planning somethings in central and southern Ohio some time.

[LeftofObama]

10. LOL! Stupid me!

I forgot all about Akron and Youngstown. Those would be right on the way to Pennsylvania. I think I need more coffee. LOL!

[elleng]

11. Reason I know someting about Youngstown, that is, where it's located,

is we/family driving from visiting friends in South Bend after a long western trip, we couldn't break away from our friends until too late (heading home in DC.) Gabbing etc. So its late and we HAD to sleep, and we may have driven past Sandusky thinking we'd do OK, couldn't find anything between Sandusky/Cedar Point and Youngstown, essentially the border. We returned to a motel in Youngstown where we'd been told 'no room,' but come back for help if you need it.

We needed, it, we returned, and the kind Pakistani or Indian manager gave the 4 of us a room for 2, and said we could make-do. We did: One of daughters slept on a TABLE! So, we remember Youngstown!

[elleng]

13. He's in Parma now, so Cleveland.
