Kasich sounds like he's in and disses Hillary on voter-laws

[Tender Branson]

Ohio Gov. John Kasich has former Sen. John Sununu running his New Hampshire operation as he bides his time on a presidential announcement, telling Fox News that he wants to ensure “the resources are there and the organization is there to be able to win.”

“I don’t want to get into this just to go around and waste everybody’s time, either. I’m going to have a sense that we can put it together, or I won’t do it. But I’m extremely optimistic,” Kasich said.

And he’s not pessimistic about polls showing him registering in the very low single digits, either.

“People like Barack Obama or Bill Clinton didn’t register early in the polls. That’s why you have early primaries. And, frankly, a national poll that takes into account what people think about me in Alaska is just not relevant. I mean, it’s going to be what people think about me in Iowa or in New Hampshire or in South Carolina,” Kasich said.

“So — you know, look — I mean, name ID right now is what this is all about. And my focus is on the places where it really matters. And I think national polls at this point are just simply not relevant.”

The governor said he likes Hillary Clinton, “but I got to tell you, the idea that we’re going to divide Americans and we’re going to use demagoguery — I don’t like it.”

“Now, I haven’t said a word about Hillary. But to come into the state of Ohio and say we’re repressing the vote, when New York has only election day and we have 27 days — what’s she — come on. That’s just silliness, you know? I’m disappointed in her, frankly,” Kasich continued. “I — you know, I’ve always — I like Hillary, personally. She’s been kind to me. I like her. I’m not for her for president, obviously. But, you know, you can’t get into that demagoguery and divide the country in Ohio. We’re trying to raise everybody.”

“…Don’t be coming in and saying we are deliberately trying to keep people from voting when her own state has less opportunity for voting than my state. And she’s going to sue my state? I mean, come on. That’s just silly. That’s not attack — that’s just silly. Come on, now.”

Are we going to have to listen to this sort of adolescent-speak for months on end?  Is there any way Kasich can be weaned off this sort of mode of expression, or will it get to the point that we start to vomit after about the ten thousandth time we hear either the words you know, I mean, or come on?

Kind of cute that they don't actually speak to the merits of anything she's proposed.

Gee golly, Andy.

Yeah, what he said had absolutely no substance to it, in addition to, as Torie pointed out, sounding practically incoherent.

Clinton is suing his state so that is what he was asked about and that is what he responded to.

The one thing of substance Kasich said was the 27 day voting period in Ohio that NY does not have. Another thing in NY that retards voting is that the state makes it very difficult to vote absentee. You have to file paper work for each election that you will not be physically present somewhere in your county for the entire period that polls are open, and your vote could be invalidated if someone produces evidence that you were in the county.

NY voting system has some great things (no 14th amendment violating ID requirements, very long hours on Election Day, fusion) and some awful things (no early voting, almost no absentee voting).

Meanwhile Kasich is sounding like Palin 2.0.

Magic his right about one thing, NY has very poor voting laws and it's all throughout the northeast, but NY had a Republican Governor until 2007 and the GOP has controlled the State Senate and it wouldn't be easy to pass reforms there.

Even if they Dems controlled the Senate, I bet Cuomo vetoes any voter-laws that come to his desk.
