Ohio's Republican primary on Tuesday is a must-win for the state's governor, John Kasich, and on Monday, 2012 presidential nominee Mitt Romney will be trying to help Kasich win the state and its 66 delegates rather than let them fall to Donald Trump. Romney will campaign with Kasich in North Canton and in Westerville, Kasich's hometown. Romney hasn't endorsed Kasich, and is encouraging Florida voters to support Marco Rubio in that state's primary, also on Tuesday. Kasich narrowly leads Trump in Ohio in a handful of recent polls, but the winner-take-all race is expected to be very close.
