Ohio will be at the center of presidential politics again
Should low scoring traditional public schools be forced to close after three years as Ohio law now dictates for charter schools? Discuss today’s editorial at the Get on the Bus education blog.
As the presidential election now kicks into full swing for the final two months of the campaign, journalists across the country are assessing what states will matter and no matter how you examine the electoral map, Ohio is at the center of it. Check out the Christian Science Montior, the Toledo Blade and the Newark Star-Ledger.
That probably explains why both Barack Obama and John McCain will be campaigning in the area Tuesday.
Elsewhere around Ohio this weekend, the state’s big newspapers seem to like the decision to pull from the November ballot Issue 4, which would have required seven sick days for full-time workers at companies with 25 or more employees. Weighing in approvingly were the DDN’s editorial page editor Ellen Belcher, the Cincinnati Enquirer, the Columbus Dispatch and the Toledo Blade.
