"This room is for Traveling Press"

Ohio may be vital to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama tonight, but unless you are a reporter from out-of-state -- or overseas -- forget about filing stories from the roomier room with live television feeds.


"Are you with the traveling press?" an aide to Sen. Clinton said to one local reporter. "You're in the other room," which looks like a wood-paneled basement. "I think there are seats left."




To be fair, local press also got booted from the roomier tables Sunday at Obama's Westerville event -- again to make room for "traveling press."
