:19 - Is the Democrat Party in such turmoil internally that Hillary Clinton would lead the presidential polls if she ran? Or are left-wingers a bit tired of the names Clinton and Biden that they want to go in a new direction?

5:21 - Speaking of politics, the articles of impeachment are being presented, and Dr. David Beer from Malone University discussed the impeachment process and how it will affect the polls and public perception come 2020.

13:54 - The Mr. Potato Head and the Barbie doll were among the top toys of the 1950s. As discussed by the panel, those have not changed too much over the decades.

:19 - Progressive Field is getting some accolades as being the best ballpark in baseball. While other ballparks may have nicer or more updated facilities (PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Petco Park in San Diego, etc.), the criteria is that Progressive Field offers more in-game entertainment and food options for the new sports fan.

9:08 - The panel got into a discussion on alternative Democrat candidates for president, if the current slate does not appeal to many. Those candidates are Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, and US Senator Sherrod Brown. Conversely, is President Trump an outlier for the Republican Party or will he be the standard post-2020 and maybe 2024?

18:22 - Speaking of Senator Brown, he joined Ray on the show to dispel any rumor that he wants to run for president. He also touched on jobs heading overseas and the situation in Syria and Turkey.

:19 - It’s time for another Ghoulardifest, this time at the Cuyahoga County Fairgrounds. Little John Rinaldi, of Big Chuck and Little John fame, puts on the event, and he promoted it on the morning show. Ray and Tony talked to John about the festival, the late Tim Conway’s impact, and his favorite skits from the popular WJW program.

9:03 - Could Hillary Clinton creep into the Democratic race? It may not happen, but members of both parties won’t totally rule her out. Ray and Tony chatted about the presidential race from the Democrat side and how they can regain some of the base’s support.

It's Election Eve, and the presidential candidates are criss-crossing key swing states in search of the votes they need to put them in the White House. Kyle Kondik, Managing Editor of Sabato's Crystal Ball, and Dave Cohen of the Bliss Institute at The University of Akron joined Jasen with a look at what to expect on Election Day.

A candidate for President was in Akron Monday, but the King of the Rubber City was in the spotlight.

At an event at the newly-renovated Goodyear Hall, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton touted the endorsement he received from LeBron James in Monday's Akron Beacon Journal.

"I'm obviously delighted to be endorsed by someone who has demonstrated such leadership and such extraordinary ability," Clinton said. "He is someone who uses the platform he has earned, because he has worked so hard over so many years, to speak up and speak out for those who do not have a voice."

Clinton also blasted Republican candidate Donald Trump over The New York Times' reporting that he wrote off $916 million of losses on his tax returns in 1995. She responded to the assertion made by some Trump supporters, including New Jersey Governor Chris Christie on Fox News Sunday, that Trump is a genius for working the tax system to his advantage.

"What kind of genius loses a billion dollars in the first place?" Clinton quipped.

While Clinton benefitted from a bump in the national polls in the days after last week's presidential debate, the first post-debate Ohio poll tells a different story. The Quinnipiac University poll shows Trump leading by three points in head-to-head polling against Clinton, and five points when Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson and Green Party candidate Jill Stein are included.

The event was billed as a voter registration event with just over a week until the registration deadline, but it was every bit a traditional campaign rally. The more than 2,500 people in attendance cheered loudly, waved signs, and applauded when asked if they were registered to vote.

Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan and Reps. Marcia Fudge and Tim Ryan spoke ahead of Clinton. A handful of protesters held pro-Trump signs outside.

With just over a month to go until the election, Hillary Clinton's campaign announced that the presidential candidate will be coming to Akron on Monday.

Clinton plans on attending the Ohio Democratic Party voter registration event at the new Goodyear Theater and Hall on East Market Street. Doors open at 1:30 PM and the event begins at 3:30. Space is limited, but you can RSVP to the event on Clinton's campaign website.

This will be her first time in the Rubber City since winning the Democratic nomination.

Clinton also plans on visiting Toledo while she is in Ohio.

With Labor Day typically marking the kickoff to the Fall campaign, both major party candidates for president will be laboring on the campaign trail with stops in Northeast Ohio on Monday. 

First, Donald Trump's campaign is set for a morning meeting with Labor Union leaders in Cleveland, followed by a campaign stop at the Canfield Fair in Youngstown at some point in the afternoon. Trump will be joined by his running mate Mike Pence at both events.  

Hillary Clinton's Campaign, meanwhile, is scheduled for a Labor Day afternoon event in Cleveland. The 11th Congressional District Community Caucus kicks off at 10 a.m., and she is expected to speak with her Vice Presidential nominee Tim Kaine, at about 2 p.m. at the Kids Village and Senior Pavillion at Luke Easter Park on Kinsman Rd. 

There were plenty of local connections at the Republican National Convention, especially since it was held just a few minutes up I-77 in Cleveland. But who from the Akron area made the trip east on I-76 to Philadelphia for the DNC?

Isabel Framer from Copley did, and she joined the Ray Horner Morning Show to talk about her experiences. Isabel is part of the DNC board of directors at-large, and she discussed being present for Hillary Clinton accepting the presidential nomination, as well as the unity between Clinton’s and Bernie Sanders’s camp.

The Copley superdelegate was one of the few local connections in Philadelphia, with a list that included Senator Sherrod Brown and Congressman Tim Ryan.

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is scheduled to make a campaign stop in Akron on Monday.

The U.S Senator from Vermont plans to hold a rally at the Akron Civic Theatre. Doors open at 10:30a.m.; the event is set to start at 1 p.m.

Before the event in Akron, Sanders will also hold a rally in Youngstown at the Covelli Centre. The rally is free for the public and doors open at 8 a.m.

The scheduled events come on the heels of the Ohio presidential primary--a key battleground state-- on Tuesday against Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.

President Bill Clinton will be in Akron on Saturday to campaign for his wife Hillary, who's hoping to win the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination.

The former president will appear at 4 PM at the Steel Workers Local 2 union shop on Kelly Avenue in Akron.

Tickets are not necessary, and doors will open at 3 PM.

President Clinton will be joined by local leaders including Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan, County Executive Russ Pry and Congressman Tim Ryan.
