The Columbus Dispatch retraced Sen. Hillary Clinton's last trip through Ohio, "and in interviews with nearly three dozen people in places she visited, it was clear that although" Sen. Barack Obama "has fans in the region, he has work to do to..."
However, while Sen. John McCain "also has his supporters in this economically hard-hit but
socially conservative area," even some Republicans "say they are
tired of high gas prices and no jobs -- and they aren't confident that
McCain would bring a change."
The Los Angeles Times looks at Ohio Republicans and notes that while the party machinery in the state helped get George Bush into office, "it's not firing yet on McCain's behalf."
