It’s Super Tuesday, and Ohio is among the most pivotal states in the race. In order to gain an edge, the two frontrunners – Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum – secured hundreds of thousands of dollars in ads which began airing last weekend in Ohio. Are the ads working? We’re joined by two voters who have heard and seen some of the ads in the past few days. Dave Sexton is a youth pastor at Calvary Bible Baptist Church in Westerville, Ohio. Brian Boyer is a web developer in Wayne County, Ohio. Kathleen Hall Jamieson is a professor of communications and director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania.
