Compared to the others being considered, Kasich would appear to be a great choice. The GOP needs to carry the Midwest to prevail this cycle.
Kasich has charisma and is conservative. I think that he compares very favorably with Tim Pawlenty, Tom Ridge, or Romney.

Kasich has charisma?
Surely you jest.
He’s unwatchable on Fox when he subs for O’Really.

Kasich? Not only no, but hell no.
He’s a gun grabber.

Didn’t John Kasich pal around a bit too much with Gary Condit before deciding (about the same time that Condit was under scrutiny for murder and extremely weird gatherings involving rubber suits) that he didn’t want to be a congressman anymore?

I agree, I always turn it off, well...I turn it off when O’Reilly is on too! LOL

Kasich is over politics. He has seen the light.

No charm...no charisma. The Factor is a bore when he’s on. I’ll take Mitt, thank you.

Actually, Kasich sometimes gets higher ratings than O’Reilley when he subs for him
Please advise me the VP candidate who is “perfect” in every way, besides Duncan Hunter.
To: WilliamReading
Rumor has it Kasich is gearing up to run for Ohio governor in 2010.
Although Strickland has been very popular among the masses & there are rumors Mike DeWine will run as well.

Not a bad idea.
However, Pawlenty already has it in the bag.

You've got to be kidding. Kasich is the guy who refused to say how he would vote on NAFTA! When continually questioned about his vote, he said he hadn't made up his mind.
We all knew he HAD and had even stated that calls were running 80% AGAINST the bill, but the "constituents didn't really understand it"!
Congress got the copies of this (3700 page)rotten piece of legislation on a Thursday (if memory serves)and had to vote on the following Tuesday.
Big surprise....Kasich voted FOR it!

not really-word here in OH is that he may take a run at Strickland (Gov)

Didnt John Kasich pal around a bit too much with Gary Condit...Yes, he did pal around with Condit. Kasich's exit from Congress always seemed a bit mysterious to me. I would imagine the MSM would be dredging this up if Kasich would get selected to be on the ticket, which is why I bet he won't be selected.

I hear you. Ever since O’Really went off on his hit piece on FreeRepublic, I can’t watch him any more. A minute or two is all I can take.
It’s always all about HIM.
Not the “folks”.

Kasich ran for President in 2000 , but was outgunned by GWB fund-raising machine.
I like him because he will win the votes of moderates and Reagan Democrats. He may not walk on water, but he can make a difference in Penna, Michigan, Ohio, and even Minnesota.
I have seen Pawlenty on television a couple of times. He is adequate, but I don’t think he will sell that well out of Minnesota.

I believe it’s going to be Romney.
I’d MUCH prefer Hunter. But I bet it’s Romney.
A Pittsburgh broadcaster with some connections in Washington says he was told it will be Romney. Should be interesting to see if he’s right. His sources have given him some pretty accurate information in the past.

I never really liked him. I don't like people who always straddle the fence. The only reason “beel” picked on FR was to try to make himself look fair and balanced at the expense of FR. Lies, Bill can tell big ones.
My hubby will immediately flip the channel at the sight of BOR. LOL

I like John Kasich a great deal. But for precisely the reason I like him so much--he seems like a regular guy with decent, middle-American values, not like some self-important politician, filled to overflowing with narcissism (either of the Clintons leaps to mind here)--he would probably be ill-suited to act as a hatchet man, which is the traditional role of the candidate at the bottom of the ticket.
Still, I have to admit that, at a purely visceral level, I would be very happy with his selection for the veep spot.
