Seems that Romney is picking some rather disgusting people in Ohio to run his campaign there.

John Kasich was almost solely responsible for the balanced budgets of the late 1990s. His retirement was a major loss.

Gingrich was beating Romney 2:1 in Ohio initially but Mitt managed to overcome that sometime after Florida. What is worse than this however is that Ohio will probably fire Gov. John Kasich and swing for Obama this time around. I say this as a Buckeye. Then there’s the Senator Sherrod Brown problem. He’s polling pretty well. I think he can be beaten but it will not be easy. I early voted for Donna Glisman to run against him because I feel that a female will be able to pull votes out of one of his key demographic groups, women-plus she sounds very conservative and I like what I have seen of her so far.

I’d vote for Mitt if I had to, but I’m beginning to dislike his tactics. “Detest” may be a better description.

I was at the Montgomery Co. (OH) central committee meeting last week and it seems that there is a big rift between Kasich and Kevin Dewine, to the point that regulars are pleading with Portman to step in and solve it.

BTW, in 2004, Rove had the perfect plan for OH. I worked the ground that day, and had detailed maps with readouts on who leaned where, and all sorts of other info. In 2008, both Obama and McCain took the Rove plan, except Obama doubled the funding, and McCain cut it in half.

[Rudder]

Romney is counting on Buerck and DeWine to lead him to victory in Ohio.

If this becomes well-known here in Ohio, Romney should just skip Ohio altogether.
