Polls show Obama creeps ahead in Ohio

President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney were again in the crucial battleground state of Ohio, with a special urgency for Romney as new polling shows the president edging ahead there less than a week before early voting begins. A day after his address to world leaders at the United Nations, Obama was speaking at two universities in the Midwestern state, hoping to generate the kind of enthusiasm among young voters that helped fuel his victory four years ago. Romney was making three stops in major cities during a bus tour aimed at drawing a contrast with Obama on the economy, which remains the top issue for voters before the November election. Both candidates in the tight race recognize how critical Ohio's 18 electoral votes will be. Al Jazeera's Patty Culhane reports from the US.

Honda, Mercedes, Volvo or any one of thousands of other corporations. When GM took the bailout one of the conditions was they produce an electric car, the volt. Feel free to look into this, every Volt GM sells, they lose $49K per unit. That is what happens when politicians decide to play CEO of a corporation, things get royally buggered up. As for fat ass stim, you are aware it's the democrats tossing the money around right? Learn your own parties policies lol

And please answer w/ all top banks in free fall in the country, who'd save Detroit's car industray in 2008/2009? It's not about letting go of 50-100,000 jobs by letting Detroit go broke, it was about the chain reaction you'd have across the land... and, you Republicans would then come up in favor of a fat ass stimulus to help the country...
