He seems like a decent, conservative Midwesterner. What do you think?

I think McCain needs to pick someone who can appeal to blue-collar conservatives. Enough with the country club variety.
But more importantly, I think we need less of SENATOR McCain and more of Potential-Prez McCain. Enough with this working-toward-consensus hooha, show us you can LEAD.

Good God NO! Kasich was horribly tainted in the Gary Condit / Chandra Levy thing that occupied the headlines before 9/11. He’s lucky he landed on his feet as a TV commentator!

I’ve always like Kasich but I think he would be better suited to pick someone with executive experience. Also the Dems would pick over everything John ever said on Fox News for something dumb they could use against him.

I would support Kasich. He’s got a bit of an independent streak, which would go along with McCain’s appeal of being a “maverick”, but is mostly conservative. He was well-liked, left rather than being voted out, and he was a smart guy.
He’s done some TV work since, and he seems presentable.
He wouldn’t be my first pick, but he wouldn’t hurt. Unless there’s some reason he left that nobody knows that we would learn about if he was chosen.

Does ANYONE vote for a President because of who his running mate is???
Lessee, Kennedy/Johnson?
Nope, and double nope!
Bush/Quayle?
Riiiiiight...
Gore/Liberalman?
Hardly!

“I’ve been mentioning Kasich for months to folks who follow Republican politics. In a few cases, the reaction has been vaguely negative with the suggestion (as I interpret it) that Kasich is a bit flakey.”
On the few occasions I have watched him on tv, I got the same impression; a bit flaky.

Not a great idea. He still has Gary Condit stink on him.

Iv’e watched his show many times and I would not vote for him for dog catcher. He is a dim just like mccain... we need balance on mccain’s ticket or it will fall over on it's left side.

John Kasich... a popular nine-term Congressman from Ohio, a state Republicans desperately need to carry.
Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
