i think a lot of people in ohio. and once again i think you had kind of a split amongst people who like president obama, they liked his speech. people who don't like him don't like his speech. and if you read facebook and social media and twitter and then you also listened to talk radio here in ohio you heard that split, you heard that very obvious difference between people who thought he had a wonderful speech, a lot of calls for unity and civility and a really soothing, healing kind of speech. others saying it was divisive for him to have spoken at this event and they felt like this was a political opportunity for him. so a bit of a split decision here. ohio is solidly republican state now so in a way that's not too surprising. >> woodruff: dick pryor, back to you in oklahoma, were you picking up that split? is that what you're sensing there, too? >> absolutely. but i think only the harshest critics would have criticized president obama's speech here in oklahoma. i think the people here were looking for those thing

the republicans took back the ohio house. they strengthened there are power in the ohio senate and the new governor is is a republican. in a sense it could be argued that john kay sik who you may remember from his time as a house buet chair he called himself the architect of the federal balanced budget back then in 1997. he says that, you know, he doesn't have any constraints, that he can do pretty much what he wants to do. he feels like there is a lot of ohio hanging fruit as he puts it. he says that certain low hanging fruit hasn't been picked because of political issues, political reasons. he says that he wants to go after this. he won't gelt specific but it certainly seems like issues involving and programs involving medicaid and also nursing homes, hospitals, some of these areas are going to be likely targets. we have about a 4 to 8 billion dollar budget deficit that was estimated. now we're hearing from the incoming senate finance committee chairman that it could be as high as $10 billion. we have a $52 billion two-year
