John Kasich is virtually certain to jump into the race for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, sources close to the Ohio governor tell ABC News.
Kasich has said his wife and daughters have given him a green light to run and in recent days Kasich has told his political advisors to begin preparing for a likely campaign. Kasich travels to New Hampshire in early June and recently did a fundraising trip to California. If he makes the final decision to run, he will make the announcement in late June or July.

Turning into a farce.
I count now, at least 14 GOP folks who are throwing their hat in the ring, and counting...
How are they all going to fit in a debate stage?
I hear there is big bucks in it.
need to find a suitable hat, to throw in, as it were.
Filling out our brackets is going to be fun!
Lemmings.
Why can’t we rally around one or two GOOD candidates and do all we can to support them.
I know.
It’s just a rhetorical question. (sigh)
“need to find a suitable hat, to throw in, as it were.”
*****
If running against Bush and Rubio, that would be a sombrero. Mariachi outfit optional.
we need a good smoke-filled room to narrow this thing down to four at most
Tell Donald Trump, Chris Christie, Jab Bush, etc to move over.
There is plenty of room in the clown car.
I know nothing about Kasich other that he is a Governor who has not run for President before. That's fine with me. I'd much rather we nominate a Governor than a first-time Senator.
And Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is still my guy.
He can’t deliver his own state - bad start. Plus, he’s a RINO of the n-th degree. Nice sell out on OBCare to get the subsidy.
Clown posse now.
Cruz it or lose it.
Will these also-RINOs like Kasich and Graham help Jeb's candidacy or hurt him? Are they being encouraged and financed by the RNC to take the oxygen from more serious rivals to Jeb, such as Cruz and Paul?
Maybe they don't care if the oxygen is deprived for now for Jeb, too, because once he wins Floridawhich they've boughtit won't matter, since they've also rigged Florida as a winner-take-all state.
I've known John Kasich for 30-40 years and while he is a decent person, there is no way on earth that he could get elected.
Too damn squishy, he's like a piece of jello.
“How are they all going to fit in a debate stage?”
Final 4 format.
Ah yes, the RINO money grab.
Running as the man who saved ACA.
I wonder what he gets out of this. Is he plugging a book? Does he have a new foundation? Or does he just have a massive ego? I mean, this is the guy who said Jesus wants us to have Welfare and Food Stamps.
Was it Truman who said, “Every politician has three hats. The one he wears, the one he talks through and the one he throws in the ring.”?
