Last-Minute Election Stops from Obama, Romney Campaigns

If you hear about others, tell us in the comments.

It’s finally Election Day, but Ohio—especially Northeast Ohio—isn’t out of the spotlight yet.   Both the Obama and Romney campaigns made a stop in (the exact same spot of) Cleveland earlier today. CNN reports that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s plane landed at the airport earlier today.

With all the recent campaign stops in the area, this isn't surprising.
