Ryan to make Election Day stop in Richmond

Virginia will remain a battleground state to the bitter end of this long election campaign, it seems.

Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan may get the last word from either of the two presidential tickets in Virginia when he makes a quick stop at Richmond International Airport on Tuesday afternoon.

Ryan is scheduled to appear at the Continental Express hangar at 2:55 p.m. — about four hours before the polls in Virginia close — according to Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign.

Romney held rallies in Lynchburg and Fairfax on Monday. Vice President Joe Biden held rallies in Sterling and Richmond, with an “unscheduled” detour to Roanoke.

Barring a last-minute, unscheduled stop by one of the presidential campaigns, Ryan’s appearance will be the last in an election unlike any Virginia has seen.

Remember, folks, the polls open at 6 a.m.

    Clue: It took 25 years to recover, on a sustained basis, from the depression. Currently, the banking system was prevented from total collapse into another depression. The U.S. , Germany and France are recovering from the Bush crash of 08 better than all other developed nations. Its great to be inthe top 3.. Think Ireland, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Greece etc: we could be in the same brink of collapse condition, but we are not. Get realistic!

    Not yet, anyway.
