KYRA PHILLIPS, CNN ANCHOR: Ohio is one of the big three states with the most delegates at stake today for both Democrats and Republicans. It ranks third behind California and New York. CNN's Jeff Flock is Stark County, Ohio, where voters have begun weighing in. Hi, Jeff.</s>JEFF FLOCK, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Hello to you, Kyra. Indeed, it may rank first when it comes to the barometer effect. That is Stark County has a pretty good track record for picking presidential winners. Only once in the past 30 years has it been wrong. And in fact, in Ohio, if you count the whole state, never has a Republican won the presidency without winning Ohio. On to today now, as we have picture from inside this polling place, where we stand outside this morning, Good weather expected and good turnout expected. Indeed, the county board of election commissioner says that when it is all done, perhaps this will be a record turnout for a presidential primary. It would be the first primary since 1976, where actually Ohio vote will mean something in terms of the primary. Now the question is: Who will benefit from this high turnout? Conventional wisdom, of course, in an open primary such as this in Ohio is that John McCain would benefit. But unlike Michigan, where he benefited from a number of crossovers, here in Ohio today, there is also a Democratic primary. So that may have some chilling effect on people crossing over. As for the polls, the last published poll here in Ohio had George W. Bush up by more than 20 points over John McCain. But the senator. Mike DeWine from Ohio, has done some polling in connection with his own primary fight, and he says that he thinks McCain is down only five points. Mike DeWine, we should point out, supports John McCain. We will, of course, continue to watch it throughout this day. We should report also that, here in Canton, in 1896, it was William McKinley who lived here and conducted virtually the entire campaign from his own front porch. Oh, how times have changed. I'm Jeff Flock, CNN, reporting live from Stark County, Ohio.</s>HARRIS: Change indeed.
