With one-stop voting available on college campuses Sept. 30 to Oct. 6, thousands could be added to the voter rolls—and Obama leads McCain 2-to-1 among 18- to 34-year-olds. Ninety percent of the nearly half a million college students in Ohio are said to be state residents.</description><link>http://www.newser.com/story/34832/early-voting-law-may-help-obama-in-ohio.html?refid=rss_all_default</link><pubDate>Wed, 13 Aug 2008 10:22:55 CDT</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.newser.com/story/30239/obama-opens-11-point-ohio-lead.html?refid=rss_all_default</guid><title>Obama Opens 11-Point Ohio Lead</title><description>Barack Obama now holds an 11-point margin over his rival in the state that decided the 2004 election.

McCain spent $170,000 Wednesday, which puts him on pace for $1.2 million per week, after spending $1.5 million over the past two months. Most of that money is flowing into Ohio, and to a lesser extent other battleground states, and hammering an uncharacteristic issue: the economy.</description><link>http://www.newser.com/story/28961/with-airwaves-to-himself-mccain-targets-ohio.html?refid=rss_all_default</link><pubDate>Mon, 02 Jun 2008 7:36:19 CDT</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.newser.com/story/28197/linchpin-in-nafta-gate-to-step-down.html?refid=rss_all_default</guid><title>Linchpin in 'NAFTA-Gate' to Step Down</title><description>Ian Brodie, chief of staff to Canada's prime minister and the key figure in the "NAFTA-gate" scandal, will step down by summer, the  Globe and Mail  reports.
