Sandusky, Erie County, Ohio -- Turn Around Ohio Tour

As we raced across Ohio, we hit some snow squalls and some gray skies. The clearness of the day wore away, yet my Italian driver drove on through the snow squalls as if in a mountain race. The land is flat and high speeds can be maintained relatively easily. We passed many vehicles and farmers with wagons of grain. As we raced along, we had time to think of the many interesting things we had seen in the day. For instance, at one time in Williams County, we had passed through a village by the name of "Brunersberg." Your correspondent saw the name on a barn of F.G. Bruner, which are the initials of his uncle, Frederick George Brunner, the son of George Frederick Brunner. Still, your correspondent was more than a little agitated, sick with worry about having missed the 6th speech and not fulfilling his duties to the candidate and the campaign. We arrived in Sandusky just as Marc Dann was concluding his speech and Chris Redfern, as the MC, managed to fit your correspondent in as the last speaker before Lee Fisher began to speak. The speech opened with regaling the crowd with the misadventures of the last couple of hours. In the end, however, the enthusiasm in the room, plus the levity at laughing a little bit at your correspondent and the campaign's incompetence, helped raise the energy level even further. It's clear that the democratic faithful is on fire, sniffing victory in the air and what has continually been described as a democratic tsunami.
