Ohio held a straw poll last night. You can read about it in great detail at this post on Daily Kos by Anastasia Pantsios, an excellent, long-time Cleveland-area journalist. Here she notes how now-departed Democratic primary challenger and Ohio congressman Dennis Kucinich - who is fighting for his seat in the 10th district - feels about the two remaining Democratic presidential candidates:

Finally, the organizers gathered all the candidates on stage. They let Dennis, Rosemary [Palmer, one of Kucinich’s congressional challengers in the primary] and Barbara [Ferris, another challenger] each have a minute to speak. Dennis said forcefully, “I’ve had the opportunity to campaign with both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, and they are both worthy candidates and both are ready to serve their country as president.” Good on you, Dennis!

I can’t say just how many votes that’s worth to either Obama or Clinton, but I would be pretty certain that it won’t affect any Republicans - though maybe a few independents. And note, he didn’t mention Ralph Nader.
