Candidates Look to Ohio on Super Tuesday

The Takeaway

Tomorrow is the big day: Super Tuesday, when ten states will hold simultaneous primary elections. There are over 400 delegates at stake on the busiest day of the of the election campaign, enough to tip the political scales in any candidate’s favor.   But what’s interesting is that each campaign has their eyes set on the 66 delegates that come from Ohio. That’s because the Buckeye State is one of the most crucial states in this, or any, Republican primary election. Coincidence or not, no Republican has ever won the presidential nomination without first winning in Ohio. Well who is that winner going to be?   To get a sense of how things are shaping up in Ohio we speak with  Mike DeWine, Ohio’s Attorney General.  Connie Schultz is a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist with Creators Syndicate.
