What's Going On In Ohio? - Amy Walter explains: Why does Obama continue to hold a small lead in that state while national polls have the race a dead heat?

The three most recent Ohio polls (CNN, Time, and CBS/Quinnipiac) show President Obama with a lead of 4-5 points. Meanwhile, the latest ABC/Washington Post national tracking poll has the race a dead heat, with Romney at 49 percent and Obama at 48 percent.

Sununu Clarifies for Powell 'Race' Comment - Univision's Fabian: Sununu said, "When you have someone of your own race that you're proud of being president of the United States, I applaud Colin for standing with him." Powell, who endorsed Obama over John McCain in 2008, cited the president's plans on the economy, healthcare and education in backing him again. He also expressed doubts about Republican nominee Mitt Romney's foreign policy positions. Later Thursday night, Sununu tried to back away from his statement. "Colin Powell is a friend and I respect the endorsement decision he made and I do not doubt that it was based on anything but his support of the president's policies," he said in a statement. http://abcn.ws/SFks3Y
