Not yet really, but I expect that to change after the convention and his VP announcement - there are several usual suspects in our neighborhood, although our county (Summit) without Akron is pretty conservative.

Would love to see Obama open a campaign office in Miami County where I grew up or in Greene County (Beavercreek)where we used to live. Anyone connected to Wright-Patterson AFB who supports this loser better think twice.

Don’t see rural voters supporting Obama because most are very pro-military and guns.
