Presidential Hopefuls Make Last Stop Before Ohio's Primary

CLEVELAND -- There is only one day left to drum up voter support for Democrats looking for their party's presidential nomination.
Ohio is one of 12 states holding primaries or caucuses on Tuesday and the candidates haven't forgotten it.
Frontrunner John Kerry will be campaigning in Columbus Monday, while his top opponent John Edwards (picture, left) will be in Cleveland today speaking at the Millionaire Club.
With time running out, Edwards is quick to draw contrasts with Kerry on issues such as trade and their backgrounds.
"I think I need to be strong and show the country that I am ready to be president and that there are real differences between John Kerry and John Edwards," Edwards said.
Some of those differences: Edwards was for the war in Iraq, he's against NAFTA, and says while he's opposed to gay marriage, he doesn't support President George W. Bush's proposed amendment banning it.
Kerry also voted yes on the war in Iraq, though neither man says he supports how the administration has run it.
Kerry was for NAFTA and is also against gay marriage.
Ohio's own Dennis Kucinich was against the war, against NAFTA and supports gay marriage.
Kucinich will be speaking at the Cleveland City Club Monday.
