Presidential Contenders Hit Battleground Of Ohio This Week

July 16, 2012

Mitt Romney and President Obama visit the battleground state of Ohio this week. Romney travels to Toledo for a fundraising luncheon at a time when the Obama campaign claims the presumed Republican presidential nominee is bringing-in more political donations than the President. Romney supporters can pay between $10,000 and $ 50,000 to appear with the candidate. President Obama returns to Ohio with a stop in Cincinnati. It will be Mr. Obama’s eighth visit to Ohio this year. The President carried Ohio in 2008. But both the Obama and Romney campaigns believe the state is in play this year.
