IMHO, I would say Gov. Snyder is the best bet, as the measures he has proposed to bridge his state's budget gaps has been less confrontational so far

You're not wrong, but it's kind of strange, since his proposals are arguably the farthest reaching of them all.

Yes, as crazy as the others are, it's not at all a stretch to call Synder's policies fascist.

In his favor, Kasich is a good communicator.  And, if Obama wins reelection in 2012, 2014 would traditionally be a good year for the GOP.

President's dont have two bad midterms usually.  2014 could well be a lot like 1998.

Well, Obama can aspire to screw over the Democratic party with two bad midterms.

Reagan and Ike both had two bad midterms. I thought Obama was Reagan? Tongue

     Definitely bad second midterms are much more common than bad first ones. I think I read that 1998 was the best second midterm since 1822.

Well, it was first midterm that the President's party gained House seats in since 1934.
