I don't LOVE the guy, but he'd be a better pick than Romney or McCain. This is how I see it:
- He took on the public unions. Yes, he lost, but at least he gave it a pretty good shot.
- Gun rights have continued to slowly improve in Ohio. No, he didn't do much on this account, but he didn't do anything to HINDER it either. I'm sure gun owners in places like Colorado or NY would love
to have a governor like this.
- The economy in Ohio seems to have picked up. No talk of stupid inner-state monorails, or whatever that crap Strickland was proposing.
- Ohio is a swing state, and being from here, he might have a better chance of winning it.
Kasich isn't GREAT, but I'd rather vote for him over the above two mentioned people or Christie, Bush, or Rubio. The chances of us ever getting a perfect candidate are slim. But if we can get one that's not terrible, he deserves our support.
