If 2008 is gonna be anything like 2004, the nominees of both parties,
national and world media, etc. will be flocking to Ohio as if we were
the center of the world, so movement leaders might want to take a
fresh look at the buckeye state -- it may just well be an ideal
short-term protest and long-term organizing* location!

* I assure you our housing market had never gone crazy even before the
recent downturn.  The office you are paying $5,000+ per month for in
Manhattan may be had perhaps for as little as $1,500.  Organize Ohio,
while saving money, and you'll never see a Republican majority again!
