>>> good evening. and this is super tuesday night. gop primaries in 11 states. 424 delegates at stake and the voting is under way at this hour. that include it is biggest prize of the night, the state of ohio , where the polls there close in less than 30 minutes . and not to be overlooked or outdone on this busy day the president stepped before the cameras at the white house and held a wide-ranging mid-day news conference in part to remind the men who want his job this is serious business, especially where this increasing talk of war with iran is concerned. our political team with us in the studio and in the field is in place on this super tuesday night to cover it all. we begin with ron mott in stubenville, ohio tonight.
>> reporter: good evening. rick santorum stopped short of calling ohio a must win tonight saying it would be huge for his campaign if he does. the fight against mitt romney has had punches flying up until the final bell. though not the biggest delegate prize of super tuesday. [ cheers and applause ]
>> thank you so much.
>> reporter: ohio is considered the catch of the day. mitt romney went home to boston to vote after a solid week slugging it out toe to toe in ohio with rick santorum .
>> it's great to be in the heart of ohio here in buckeye territory. that's a tough thing for a penn stater to say.
>> reporter: a proven presidential battleground, 12 state elections picking the winner, victory in ohio can cast long-lasting signals. for romney , says one political expert, the stakes couldn't be higher. especially considering a possible southern surge in the next week for newt gingrich .
>> the field is tilted for the rest of march in a santorum and/or gingrich direction. not in a romney direction. i think he has to have ohio . has to win ohio .
>> reporter: romney is expected to perform best in ohio 's urban and suburban areas. santorum in smaller, rural communities. each has focused speeches around restoring luster to the rust belt for good reason. ohio produces $73.5 billion worth of goods every year ranking third in the nation and is the second largest maker of automobiles behind michigan, which is why opposition to the auto industry bailout by romney and santorum could impact the vote, not just in the primary today but in november. at a cafe outside akron, michelle hall and her mother barbara were divided.
>> i'm liking who's out there now. i feel comfortable with who's out there.
>> instead of telling what they would really do for us, they talk about each other. and that's not a good thing.
>> reporter: the santorum campaign is essentially looking for a split decision here in ohio tonight. he is still in contention to win the popular vote , but because of a filing issue regarding delegates it's unlikely he could win on that front,
