Most importantly, Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin will be at Lunken Airport on Wednesday evening for a huge rally. Check out my blog entry here.And...
It has been a tough few weeks for Republicans. Times are tough and the nation is struggling because of the liberal, left-wing social engineering forced upon lending institutions by the left in America. This housing crisis is being felt in every sector of the economy and many uninformed voters want to blame President Bush for a mess he tried to fix. That is the nature of politics, though. We will persevere.

As I drove out of the city late yesterday afternoon leaving HQ, I rolled down the windows, took in the crisp fall air and the beautiful change in colors and was reminded that fall in Ohio is the best time of year. The mostly boring highway drives are made beautiful with the change in color. Fall also means politics. It's a great time of year.

I have been a little busy and haven't blogged about much that's happened with the local party. We're busy recruiting volunteers, etc. But, we've had an interesting couple of weeks. Personally, it has been an exciting time to be Chairman. Two weeks ago, I was selected to greet President Bush as he deplaned from Air Force One. That is a very special treat. Later that same week, we hosted Karl Rove for a special meeting of our Chairman's circle. The next day, we all welcomed and got a chance to meet Gov. Palin. This past week, Gov. Romney spent some quality time in Hamilton County and I was honored to introduce him and talk with him. On Friday night, Speaker Gingrich was in town and I had a chance to talk to him and squeeze into my tuxedo to hear him speak at dinner. All in all, a fun time that makes all of our work pay off.

To "my friends" (been listening to Sen. McCain too long...) who insist on commenting negatively about the Republicans you may not like or agree with, my apologies for not posting your negative comments about Republicans. My message to you is simple: we are in a battle for our lives in this election cycle. It is a real struggle for the future of America. If you believe we are in this struggle because of "bad" Republican candidates, we can have that discussion another time. Right now, we're working to help Republicans.

Yard signs are the center of our existence at Party headquarters. Angry callers are our specialty. We have yard signs. They'll be gone by the end of this week.

Do you know about our Election Night Victory Party? For the first time in recent history, that party will be at Republican HQ. Watch this blog for more information.

There is a racial undertone to this presidential campaign that saddens me a great deal. When I have the time to write about it more thoroughly, I will post something. This race is NOT about race. It is about who is best to lead America. Sen. Obama ought to be strongly criticized for his left-wing views--not for his race. But, he can not be immune to criticism because of his race, either. It is a delicate situation and one that concerns me. I want Sen. McCain to win. I am concerned about race relations if he does so--in a close race. More on this later.

The Bengals will shock the world and beat the Steelers today with Ryan Fitzpatrick at the helm. You heard it here first.

Have a great Sunday.
