Romney And Santorum Reach Out To Buckeye State Voters

With recent primary wins in Arizona and Michigan, Romney wants to build on his new momentum and solidify his "inevitable" status. Tonight's venue though does present some challenges. There are seemingly few Republicans on this campus -- it's inside a very "blue" urban district - and the handful we talked to this afternoon appear unsold on the Massachusetts governor.

The more libertarian politics of Ron Paul has more appeal for some, including senior Nathan Buckley.

"Paul's views on gun control are very, very non-restrictive," says Buckley. "He's the better candidate to balance the government. We're millions of dollars in debt right now, and I feel that his foreign policy's far stronger than any of the other candidates out there."

The prize for winning Ohio in the Super Tuesday contest is 66 GOP delegates.
