Is he running? Looks like it.

Sadly, attacking anyone for being "too partisan" simply won't fly within today's GOP.

Kasich is the GOPs best shot, doesn't have the baggage Walker or Bush has. Can also use the collective bargaining failure as an example of being humbled during the general election.

I like Kasich. I think overall he has the right ideas. Unfortunately, I can't see him making it through a primary. Look at what he said about immigration for instance.

If I am not mistaken, Walker endorsed the Senate Immigration Bill or at least a path to citizenship in 2013.

Kasich's statement of "I am not closed to the idea" is thus more conservative a stance then Walker has on the issue unless Walker backtracked.

Another hinderance Kasich faces is the NRA. He has either a D or an F from that organization for his time in Congress as he supported gun control, typical for a Republican representing a surburban domnated district in the 1980's and early 1990's.

This is why the republicans should nominate Kasich. The base will hold their noses and vote for him in the general just like they did for Romney, and he will win or come very close to winning the moderate vote (Romney lost it by double digits). Even if he doesn't win the election, he'll come very close.

I bet Chucky cried at night after that jab. After all he did to destroy Alison Lundergan Grimes, and this is how they repay him?

Kasich sounds vaguely sane sometimes. Maybe he'd do as well as Huntsman.

[Likely Voter]

Kasich would be a good GE candidate who just won really big in OH. However he is:
- pro bipartisanship and compromise
- for expanding Medicare under Obamacare
- open to path to citizenship for undocumented
- pro Common Core

That won't go great with the core base of the party, and if Bush and/or Christie are in the race, then there will be a fight for the moderate voters (who are outnumbered by the conservatives to begin with)

And it will in today's Democratic Party?  GMAFB.

I never said it would.

Alison Lundergan Grimes destroyed herself, to be fair.

Yeah, the whole "Get guns off the streets at all costs" schtick was pretty much boilerplate for Republicans in the suburbs of major non-Southern cities in the '80s and '90s. Of course, it was usually part of the "Tough On Crime" package along with minimum sentencing laws that send people to prison for life for having an ounce of weed on them because some little old white lady got raped in her kitchen by an intruder at gunpoint this one time and we have to pass this law we're going to name after her otherwise her grandkids are going to get in trouble after school and try drugs and play violent video games on this newfangled thing called a PlayStation. Oh and we should make them wear school uniforms too. That will fix everything.

Kasich was headed down the same road as Walker and would have continued to do so if voters had not rejected his anti-union bill.

LOL

[hopper]

I like Kasich's talking points about working with the opposing party.

[MaxQue]

Kasich is an average Republican. He is only smart enough to know what to do to be reelected in a swing state.

[BM]

LOL at John Kasich being too moderate for the base. Republicans are truly doomed.

But Kasich/Martinez would be stronger than the often fantasized about Walker/Martinez imo.

Does have a problem with people ignoring facts?

What a RINO.
