Casino Creates Strange Bedfellows

The battle over state issue 3-- the ballot measure that would authorize gambling casinos in Ohio -- has created some strange political bedfellows.

For example, a West Virginia casino and Ohio church leaders who oppose ALL gambling expansions are on the same "vote no" side. Meanwhile, the battle has also caused a RIFT between long-time ALLIES on the political left....as some support the proposal while others lambast it.

Statehouse correspondent Bill Cohen reports.
