unless you have a regime change, unless teheran was replaced with a regime that didn't want to seek nucleareapons we have a major problem, because what you'd end up doing is having to cut the grass periodically, every 18 months or so and that creates a situation where you're going to see a middle east in constant turmoil, worst than the one we face right now i'm afraid. jenna: aaron always appreciate your insight on these things. we will be talking about it more in the days, weeks, and months to come. thank you. >> thank you. jon: well ohio's governor gives a tip of his hat to the opposition today after voters take on two hot button issues at the polls, collective bargaining and the healthcare law's individual mandate. what did the folks there decide in doug mcelway live in the capitol city has a look for us. >> reporter: what happened last night simply reaeu firearms ohio's reputation as a volatile unpredictable swing state. voters produced results which appeared to be diametrically opposed in some respects, and almost counter intuitive. on the one hand they dealt a severe blow to presiden
