Ohio begins!

The front story Tuesday 11:30, is that Ohio begins voting. This is a big deal because not only is it a battle ground state, but it is also the first to open its polls. There are mixed feelings about this; Republicans believe that it is easier to have fraud, while democrats encourage it.
The BBC does this thing, though, where they talk about about the race in a nut shell. When the BBC does it in this way, it says that, of course, the biggest deal in the election, is still the economic crisis. They say that while Obama has a lead in national polls, McCain is gaining in states such as Ohio and Indiana. However, he is loosing ground in states like Florida.
I was looking at other sites, and they're all talking about Palin-Biden debate. The funny thing about this, is that the BBC doesn't do a feature on this, they do include this picture as the 'picture of the week'. It is showing that the VP debate is ready to go.

As far as framing, it again, seems pretty straight-forward. I did notice, today, however, on the main page, the main picture is McCain. I'm excited to watch to see how the BBC is going to watch and cover the VP debate, and wonder if they are using more of McCain's pictures because Sarah Palin is more of a celebrity this week....
