@day in his home state and john kasich taking @the same approach, this morning @at youngstown and . @a lot of the question centers @on how it is the only candidate @on the republican side that @hasn't won a state is the one st potent against @donald trump. @if john kasich can win @tomorrow, and the polling is @looking good, more on that in a perhaps he can build momentum @and build a narrative that will @allow him to come in to a come this @july, and tell the story of why @he, the establishment favorite @who is left over, the only one @with a history @the field is the person they @should really back. @in next few minutes we are @expected to see mitt romney

@ron not endorsing kasich yet @but telling folks he is on the @campaign stump for kasich and @here to lend his support. @more throughout the westerville, near @columbus, chris tye, channel 3 @news. @ a lot of campaigning takes @place, smine has @more on the story. @>> reporter: that's right, only @hours ago that bernie sanders @was here, inside the civic h all his greater @akron supports speaking on many @things like health care, equal @pay and opportunity for women @and y education. @the vibe was clear, the support @was extremely visible as bernie d old, @floodsed the akron civic @theater. @>> in some polls i have seen 86 @or some odd percent ofsupport bernie @sanders.

@vision for the country with @free education, being one of @>> i shouldn't have to go in to @debt over trying to get an @education, i think. @my main reason, i k he is honest. @he is genuine. @ @>> reporter: the chance rocked @the room as senator sanders @rattled off the affecting middle class citizens @and what he would do to change @them. @>> he is for our little guys. @we are sick of the one rs getting everything. @>> reporter: gop supporters @came out to speak on how the @rally should not focus on @getting the vote but bring @people together. @>> we may have political we can come @together and we can love each @other, we are saying free hugs. @>> reporter: the sanders today in @ohio, they made their 1 @millionth phone call if ohio,

@is get out and vote tomorrow. @ @ welcome to channel 3, good @to have you ght, poll numbers @released show hillary golston @taking a 7 point lead over @bernie sanders in ohio. @the numbers part of the @american research @>> same poll is showing good @numbers for ohio governor john @kasich here in the state, @reports there are currently a donald trump @heading in to tomorrow. @. the governor pulling out all @the stops to stop the beres is here to explain @the romney factor and look @ahead to everything tomorrow. @>> well, in his long, long @political rear, golfer john @kasich has never lost a primary @or general election. @ohio voters could change what @happens tomorrow, for him the @republican party and maybe the @country's future.

@ultimate trump or anti trump @card but only appearing with @one candidate claiming this was @not a endorsement in north @canton but sounded like one. @the poll shows kasich has a @good chance to pull this off. @he has not won any states and @trails in delegates, if he @loses tomorrow he and the stop @trump movement seemingly done. @if he wins, he can start a long @shot more interesting script. @>> you welcome at this guy, @unlike the other people @running, he has a real track @record. @he has the kind of record that @you want in washington, that's @why i'm convinced you are going @to do the right thing tomorrow. @>> when i win tomorrow and send @this forward it's going to send @a positive message to the @world, don't doubt america is @coming back. @i need your vote. @>> kasich predicting victory,

@win or a humbling defeat. @he won two dozen elections. @we will see if his taking the @high ground approach pays off @if his stay. @he claim he had a home field @advantage here. @we will see if the loyalty goes @both ways with voters. @new poll numbers, who do you @think will win tomorrow? @are we looking at kasich or @trump? @>> i'm thinking, too many @things going in kasich's favor @to bet against him. @campaign has been focusing on @this as the big prize. @i'm thinking the violence if @chicago may have a backlash @affect turning people away from @trump. @kasich has all of ohio's @republican party working the @ground game on his behalf. @i still think ohio at his core @is a main stream middle of the @road state. @cuyahoga county board of @elections about 15% of all the @republican votes cast are being @cast by democrats crossing

@trump? @>> let's talk about turnout. @what is turnout ition pected to @be tomorrow. @41%. @>> on the democratic race, are @we looking at sanders or @clinton? @>> again i think hillary @here. @bernie sanders has picked up a @lot of support lately. @i wonder how many of his @college aged supporters will @get to the polls. @ohio, reverts to being a more @pragmatic political barometer @state. @hillary golston has a long and @deep history of support here. @i'm thinking she wins more @votes and delegates to add to @her margin and lead over bernie @sanders. @>> a fascinating day. @>> we will be here to recount @it all. @>> a long one. @thank you. @ cleveland will be the @worldwide stage for the @republican nomination to play @out come july, and today, @destination cleveland held the

@destination cleveland's annual @meeting, for a conversation no @one expected to have. @the band is right on cue. @>> reporter: less meeting and @more of a party. @that meeting wrapped up an hour @ago, you are right, @conversations here tonight over @what a brokered convention @could mean, many people are @seeing pluss to it. @there are minuses, too, no one @can place at this point. @nary ty continued over what the @convention can do for cleveland @filling restaurants and hotels @while showing what the city can @offer. @there is concern a lot could @get lost. @should we end up posting a @contested convention instead. @it would mean no candidate got @the delegates for the @nomination. @boiling it down to votes on the @convention floor. @>> am i worried about it? @no. @we will be ready for the @convention brokered or not @brokered and make sure that all @the visitors in cuyahoga county

@>> reporter: officials down @played the possibility, while @party planners tell channel 3, @they are ready, quote, for all @kinds of contingencies and @expect a nominee. @that maybe wishful thinking. @chuck todd of nbc's meet the @press believes i could be @historic summer. @>> you have no idea. @i thought the possibility of a @contested convention was higher @than ever before. @trump made it more so. @>> reporter: not just the @restaurants and hotels bracing @for bigger crowds but security, @too, concerned if something @goes wrong, the leverage maybe @lost to host something so big @ever again. @and unknown certainly made @people jittery, we may have @seen that today. @a person with the sanders @campaign told us they had to @move an event from cleveland to @akron out of concerns there @could be protests like the ones @we seen at trump rally, people @not wanting to be associated

@as it was put out at the end of @last week. @the san francisco 49ers put him @on the trademark market and @kaepernick would like to be @traded but i think it's to the @broncos. @we might be a pawn in this @game. @i think kaepernick is going to @try and really force the 49ers @to either trade him or to cut @him and then make him a free @agent and he could go and i @think that would be to the @denver broncos. @that would leave the browns @having to get the quarterback @in the draft which has always @been the plan with the number @two pick. @carson wins, the quarterback @continues to get high praise, @from the great john gruden who @did his quarterback camp, he @said winch is the most nfl @ready quarterbacks have him @going to cleveland at numb 2 in @late print.
