Supporters listen to Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney during a rally at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Marion, Ohio on October 28, 2012.
Michael O'Brien of NBC News reports that auto industry politics is dominating the closing days of the campaign in the all-important battleground state of Ohio:
The Romney campaign circulated on Sunday several newspaper endorsements — the Des Moines Register and the Cincinnati Enquirer among them — to argue that the Republican ticket had made inroads in crucial swing states. The Obama campaign responded in kind by sending reporters endorsement editorials from the Youngstown Vindicator and the Toledo Blade, both of which referenced the 2009 auto industry bailout as a point in Obama's favor.
The auto bailout — which Romney had opposed, memorably, in a New York Times op-ed entitled "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt" — has assumed a central role in the closing days of the campaign, especially as the election plays out largely on a Midwestern, industrial and economically-battered playing field. Read the full story.
Vice Chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, Carly Fiorina; Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne; New York Times columnist David Brooks; MSNBC's Rachel Maddow; and NBC's Chuck Todd discuss the importance of Ohio in this presidential election.
From tramping through cornfields to munching ice cream cones to holding babies – the time-honored traditions of the campaign trail leave President Barack Obama and GOP challenger Mitt Romney looking surprisingly alike.

I'm waiting for someone to Photoshop a cross on this photo.
Come on in, brothers and sister! ... Brother, can you testify as to why this poor child's eyeball rolled back into his head?
Romney didn't say "Let Detroit go bankrupt." That is a lie circulated by the Obama campaign and the left leaning media.
It was the title of the newspaper article written by Mitt Romney. No, the Obama campaign did not circulate it - you can see the photos of the article if you Google it - many news programs have shown it and have talked about it. This is nothing new and certainly not made up material.
What I see is the audience. Whenever I see pictures of the audiences for Romney's rallies, they nothing but white as far as the eye can see.
They also look very bored, uninspired and not very enthusiastic.
I hope these people remember who said...let them go bankrupt and the one who bet on American workers. Pres. Obama stood up for them and took a lot of heat even from his own party and gave the auto workers the bailout they needed. Now he needs them....hope you remember this...Mr. Romney does not like unions or union workers and if elected, he will do what Wisconsin did and try to destroy them He already said in one speech,,,union workers go to the back....which means he will hire his choice people and if there are any jobs...then a union worker will get it....is this the president we want?. To me TRUST and INTEGRITY is important and I do not trust Romney...he does not have the integrity his Dad had...and for me...he does not represent a president who will work for all...no matter what he is says now.
