Logan, Ohio -- Hocking County

We arrived at our final stop of the date, which was held at a flea market just north of Logan, Ohio. The wind had turned very cold by that point, but that didn't stop this crowd of Hocking County Democrats being there to cheer on Ted Strickland. Your correspondent was remembered by many of the attendees for having spoken just a couple weeks before at their county party dinner. We received a very warm greeting and our candidate's speech was wonderfully received. Ted Strickland then asked the crowd to step in close and we used each other as a wind block while Ted delivered an absolutely blistering southern pastor's speech. We had time to visit with our good friends, Judge Richard Waller, and Reverend Bob Woods, who had earlier given an invocation over the rally. As usual, we stayed and were one of the last people and were therefore late to our candidate's next speech. We left the Ted Strickland Get Out The Vote rallies with a warm sense of satisfaction and good memories of the folks that we had spent time with that day. As we headed north and west on State Route 33, we commented on the wonderful scenery we had seen that day in the rolling hills of southern Ohio and how many of the leaves were still on the trees as compared to the northern part of the state. Nature gave us a spectacular color show and the people had buoyed our hearts for the last few days of the battle. There were only 10 days left.
