CINCINNATI - Ohio's tourism slogan was once that the Buckeye State is the "heart of it all". That's never been more true than in the waning days of the 2012 race for the White House.

9 News anchor Tanya O'Rourke talks about what's at stake for the Romney and Obama campaigns with 9 News political analyst Pat Crowley and WVXU.org political writer Howard Wilkinson in this week's political roundtable.

They look at campaign strategy and what drives the decisions the campaigns will make. They also look at why Hamilton County, perhaps more than any other county in Ohio, is pivotal to which way Ohio's 18 electoral votes go Nov. 6.

Also on the agenda is Ohio Issue 2 which sets up a redistricting commission that would redraw state and federal legislative district lines in Ohio. How will it work? Who's behind it? And, do the voters understand it?

See the roundtable here and see them dissect the issues Sunday mornings at 8 a.m. on Good Morning Tri-State.
