“… At this point, I think Strickland is likely to have the edge, but we are a long way from the election.”
At least Ohio conservatives have a reason to get off of the couch on a statewide basis. This should help the other statewide Republican offices and down ticket races.
Kasich has to prevent Strickland from successfully blaming all of Ohio’s woes on Square Bob Sponge Tax Taft (an extremely tall order - he killed the Buckeye GOP with his tax hikes and unethical behavior) and Bush (my how the libs love to bang that drum).
Query: If Ohio goes GOP in November 2010 with a Kasich victory, will the media proclaim it as a portent of 2012 (As Ohio goes, so goes the Nation)? Nah, who am I kidding. That headline will only see the light of day if it is another Dem sweep.
