...Across Ohio, people are nervous about the economy. The state has lost almost a quarter million jobs since 2000, its worst drop since the Great Depression. In some of the state's most politically divided areas, including Sandusky and Lima in northwest Ohio, a third of all manufacturing jobs disappeared in the last seven years. These economic concerns have helped Obama, who took the lead in polls only after the Wall Street bailout...
...Farm Belt, Northwest Ohio Many of Ohio's far-right leaders grew up here. But some the area's cities lost a third of their manufacturing jobs in the last seven years, giving Democrats an opening. Still, it is seen as Republican territory. Sarah Palin chose Northwest Ohio's Bowling Green University last week to roll out new accusations of Obama's links to radicals. Expect more such red meat appeals to the base. Meanwhile, in an effort to expand past his Toledo stronghold, Obama sent Joe Biden and Bill Clinton to rallies in factory towns like Lima and Marion...
DeltaWest? Norelta? Northwest and Delta have announced a merger. It will take up to two years to fold Northwest fully into Delta, so, in the meantime, the airlines will continue to operate separately.

For more info, see the FAQ on the Northwest website...
...only promise most Cubans saw in the ocean north of their island was the current that carries homemade rafts to Florida. That all changed a few years ago when geologists estimated that between 5 billion bbl. and 10 billion bbl. of oil lie beneath the waters off Cuba's northwest coast. Suddenly it seemed as though the hemisphere's sole communist nation might finally end its desperate dependence on oil-rich allies like the former Soviet Union and Venezuela - and perhaps even escape its impoverished economic time warp altogether...
...Geological Survey (USGS), a government agency, made the initial estimate of 5 billion bbl.to 10 billion bbl. for Cuba's northwest offshore sector (known as the Exclusive Economic Zone, or EEZ) in 2004. Tenreyro says Cupet's analysis is based on what he calls a more accurate comparison of similar maritime oil fields like those off Mexico's Gulf Coast. "We're talking about that magnitude," he argued last week. "We have more data" than the USGS. But Cupet, an arm of Cuba's ultra-secret communist government, hasn't offered much more evidence than that. Chris Schenk...
