What a great morning!  It is hard to believe the countdown is now down to 5 days.  I have just uploaded a new video from a bus stop in Clermont County, Ohio. 

 

Everyone knows how critical it is to win in the battleground states.  It was even critical to the election of our first Republican President, Abraham Lincoln. After seeing successful returns in those competitive states in 1860, Lincoln wrote his former rival and future Secretary of State, William Seward, “It really now looks as if the Government is about to fall into our hands. Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana have surpassed all expectation.”

 

Today, I want to thank everyone for rallying behind John McCain and Sarah Palin.  Together we are making a difference in states all across the country and we will surpass all expectations.  Keep up the hard work, press on, and on January 20th we will be uniting together to inaugurate John McCain the 44th President of the United States!

LIVE from the Victory Bus Tour through Ohio!  I have just walked out from my second Victory Center stop in Southern Ohio and I must say our volunteers are doing an unbelievable job of making phone calls and knocking on doors.  They are making the personal contacts which will make the difference on Election Day.  In fact, the volunteers from this area of Ohio were the top performing region in the country last night.  That’s impressive because our volunteers made over 1 million voter contacts yesterday alone!  Being out on the road meeting individual volunteers is the most rewarding part of my job.  I like to say our organization and the efforts our volunteers are putting in each day is what will be the “October Surprise”.  It is with them that we can achieve victory! 

 

On the bus with me today is the RNC Co-Chairman and National Committee Woman from Ohio – Jo Ann Davidson, National Committeeman and State Chairman from Ohio – Bob Bennett, as well as Congresswoman Jean Schmidt.

 

I will be attaching some photos from the day. 

Good Morning!  Tomorrow I will be starting a Bus Tour through Ohio and West Virginia.  Below are the stops.  I am looking forward to this tour and I hope you will stop by if you live in the area and encourage your friends who are in the area to do the same.
