1. Not sure, but check out Dayton Daily News for updates.

And also, for this bizarre quote:

(He's speaking in Kettering, a suburb of Dayton. Of course he's waking up Cincinnati with all of that podium-pounding!!!!)

Casey Garvey, 15, a sophomore at Fairmont High School, came to the rally with her friend Lauren Baker, 16, a 10th-grader at Fairmont High School. The students said they came to the rally because they wanted to hear what McCain had to say about his issues in person.

Garvey said she likes McCain's stance on the military and schools. The students were also impressed with Gov. Sarah Palin.

"Palin knows what most of America is going through with teenagers being pregnant," Garvey said.

:wtf:

in that area. And, I'm glad those girls can't vote, but, sorry that they skipped school just to listen to McGrumpy pounding on a podium.
