Fisher expects Obama and Biden to visit here often

YOUNGSTOWN — Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher expects the two major political party presidential nominees and their vice presidential running mates to spend a lot of time in the Mahoning Valley and southeast Ohio.

“My advice to Barack Obama and Joe Biden is to buy houses in the Mahoning Valley,” Fisher, a Democrat, told The Vindicator on Friday about his party’s presidential and vice presidential candidates.

The Valley is heavily Democratic, and Fisher said its residents expect to see presidential and vice presidential candidates in the area.

“It’s hard to get the votes of the people here without physically being here,” he said. “Being on ‘Meet the Press’ won’t work.”
