Obama Kicks Off Campaign

President Obama “will hold his first two major political rallies of the general-election campaign next weekend at colleges in Ohio and Virginia, staking a claim in two of the most closely watched battleground states of the year and continuing his dialogue with student voters, whose energy and enthusiasm were crucial to his victory four years ago,” the Washington Post reports.

Said David Axelrod: “Welcome to the general election.”

Headline in the Cincinnati Enquirer: “Obama to kick off campaign in — where else — Ohio.”
