I like the idea, but he ran a weak contest for Governor.
To me there are two scenarios:
1) Josh Mandel runs a strong but losing race against Sherrod Brown— then Kasich picks Mandel.
2) Mandel either wins or runs poorly....then it’s an open ball game. I don’t see any Congress critter who jumps out as a dominant candidate. Maybe Sec of State Hustead or Lt Gov Taylor???
