HEADLINES: With one convention over and one beginning Monday, Ohio is the center of U.S. politics this weekend. Republican John McCain held a rally in Dayton, bringing in 10,000 people and his new running mate. And Democrat Barack Obama, along with his vice presidential pick, stops through Columbus after a trip to Cleveland for the memorial service for Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones, who died last week.
Gov. Ted Strickland had said he didn't want to have to replace Tubbs Jones through a special election, which could cost more than 5 million dollars. But he has ordered one on November 18. If there's a need for a primary, it will happen October 14.
The feisty and often divisive elections chief during the 2004 presidential election - Ken Blackwell - has been named to the platform committee at the GOP convention.
The Green Party is filing a lawsuit against Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner.
An investigation has found that the former Attorney General Marc Dann misused state aircraft to travel to and from his Youngstown home and twice took his daughter on flights for which she wasn't authorized.
And Ohio education officials say 85% of public school districts in Ohio now rank effective, excellent or excellent with distinction.
ROUNDTABLE SEGMENT 1: Ohio's unemployment rate is at its highest level in 16 years, and that jobless figure may soar in the next few months if DHL makes good on its plans to ship its air cargo delivery out of state to UPS, which would eliminate some 8,000 jobs at the Wilmington Air Park and perhaps thousands more support jobs around the airport. Here to talk about the efforts to keep DHL in Wilmington are State Rep. David Daniels (R-Greenfield) and Kevin Carver, the Department of Development's regional economic development director for Dayton and western Ohio.
FEATURE SEGMENT: Among the many malapropisms made famous by Yankees legend Yogi Berra was this line, "It ain't over till it's over." And it's almost over at the ballpark that's been home to professional baseball in central Ohio for more than three quarters of a century. After playing to a nearly packed house last weekend, the Columbus Clippers finish their final games at Cooper Stadium this weekend, against another Ohio team, the Toledo Mud Hens. Next year the minor league team will have a new affiliation and a new stadium, now under construction a few miles away, near Nationwide Arena in downtown. But fans like team historian Joe Santry will always have a soft spot for "the Coop".
