'Well bless your heart' - I hear it in old grandma voice

One thing about Kasich - you know EXACTLY where he stands on EVERYTHING - I swear I've never heard such a talkative politician. Blahblahblah lol.

Ohio has something of a history of populist, fiscally conservative Governors. I was really surprised our last one, Gentleman George Voinovich, was never picked as a VP candidate.

Our latest kinder, gentler GOP Gov.

Here he is in his natural state:



He's almost single handedly responsible for expanding Medicaid here, but he was also for MI style government union busting laws.

Will Kasich's pseudo populism play well in the rough and tumble/kill or be killed Republican primary follies? This unequivocal sound bite seems tailor made for the likes of Cruz missile Ted and Pox Noise machine.

Hence the kneecap comment.

I got that Bob. I can't image the TP can bring him down. He's pretty popular here. On the national scale? Heck McCain was as moderate as you can get, and Romney was from MA for goodness sake

Your boy Kasich looks alright on paper so far I guess but that message will be met with crossed arms and stoney faces in Dixieland, no matter how far he tacks to the right.

McCain from Arizona was a moderate? Who knew? Maybe many years ago but then he sold his ass cheap to the Palin wingnut contingent of the Republican party. He's been the epitome of the walking dead outside of the beltway for years now.

Romney? Oh my, the carpetbagger vulture capitalist dude from Bloomfield, Illinois via Salt Lake City with a silver spoon upbringing? That Mitt Romney?

He barely got out of Massachusetts with hide intact after suffering a blistering rebuke from the voters after one term as governor.

Perhaps they should've picked a 2 year jr Senator with a hard right record

McCain particularly HAD to pick a hard right VP because he was such a moderate.

There's hard right and then there is the wackadoodle Teabagger nutjobs. Hardly the same thing old son.

McCain's calculus was simply a bald faced lowdown tactic to peel of the womens vote and it backfired spectacularly. Nobody was fooled by it, least of all, the biggest majority in American politics.

Funny how that all played out in '08 AND '12.

The economy has enjoyed:

55 months of record employment (so sayeth those leftys at Forbes magazine)

The stock market is as bullish as it's ever been. (Ask those so************************tas at the Wall St. Urinal.)

A revamp of the health care business striking the worst excesses in the for profit market.

ie They can no longer deny coverage for pre existing conditions, leaving people to die and their families to go broke.

Lower increases in costs in decades.

I could go on and on and on but I've gotta go attend another training class courtesy of my county Registrar of Voters.

More later Brer Pete.

Boy we sure disagree don't we Bob

Hard to NOT go up when it was as down as it was! It's also the weakest recovery in a long time. I see you don't mention foreign affairs

And McCain was indeed a moderate, and Palin was picked to offset that - wrongly it turns out. If he would've picked Lieberman it would've been the most centrist ticket ever. But the reality is, lip service aside, nobody really wants center, they want what they believe in. At least me and you're open about it lol.
