Summary-
Up until today, both Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum have been desperately trying to appeal to Ohio voters. Romney is hard pressed to appear as a middle class worker at this point, but he has made the point that he knows how to run businesses and to get more jobs to Americans. Rick Santorum, on the other hand, is trying to pull off the "I'm just like you," and keeps mentioning growing up in Pennsylvania.
Connection-
Voting is a science, as discussed in the class unit on electioneering, and takes certain strategies. Romney and Santorum are trying for different angles in order to win the primary in Ohio because they know that the same thing will not be effective for both of them. Everything matters, down to the color of their ties.
Personal Reaction-
It will be close, but it really looks as though Romney is going to win in Ohio. Ron Paul, unfortunately, does not have a chance. It will be extremely bad if Santorum wins, however.
