Romney, Obama campaigns hit the streets here Saturday

The campaigns of both President Obama and Republican Mitt Romney were hitting the streets of Cincinnati for some old-fashioned door-knocking and phone-banking.

Rep. Steve Chabot, R-Westwood, joined with Hamilton County GOP officials and local tea party leaders Saturday morning at the Romney Victory Center in Colerain Township to kick off a day of grassroots voter outreach.

In Silverton, Mayor John Smith was scheduled to fire up Obama volunteers at 3:30 p.m. before they hit the streets to knock on doors. The event is to take place at the Silverton Train Museum at 7054 Montgomery Road.
