Kasich has good name recognition in Ohio and excellent fiscal credentials. He's the GOP's best bet to beat Strickland.

Who is running for the Senate seat?
To: Big_Monkey
Wonderful. John has a great reputation for fiscal responsibility and for cutting budgets.

"Who is running for the Senate seat? I don't live in OH anymore, but it's going to be Portman from what I've heard and maybe a couple others in the GOP Senatorial primary.
To: Big_Monkey
There’s hope for our state! You go JOHN!

Kasich is also pro-life and was untainted by the pubbie scandals that cost so much in OH a few years back.

I certainly do hope that Ken Blackwell does run for something, maybe for the U.S. Senate seat. Is Robert Portman already officially running for U.S. Senate?

'I certainly do hope that Ken Blackwell does run for something, maybe for the U.S. Senate seat. Is Robert Portman already officially running for U.S. Senate? Blackwell has already very publicly endorsed Portman for Senate. With the shellacking he took in 2006 plus his ties to the Taft administration, I think he's going to lay low for several more years.

"Taft and Blackwell were not at all buddies. The tie that binds is party affiliation and nothing much more. No question. But, perception is reality. That's why Blackwell got beat so badly. It will fade from the public's consciousness in a few more years.

Kasich has been all over the state in recent months, and spoke at the Columbus tea party. Good choice for Ohio.

I like Ken Blackwell but have been sort of disappointed by his recent TV appearances. I saw that interview and really dont think he got "pwned" but I do think Hitchens comes off as a elitist snob as usual who sounded more learned.
Not that I don't doubt Mr Hitchens expertise on American history but he picks and chooses his facts during that discussion and it's a bummer Blackwell wasn't totally informed about those facts and had any good quality responses that counter his argument from Thomas Jefferson himself.
c'est la vie

"Met Mr Kasich when i was in 8th grade during my field trip to D.C. Good grief. I feel really old now. When I went on my 8th grade trip, we met Howard Metzenbaum - and he was a junior Senator at the time.

He has always been one of my favorite pols. I thought he gave up on it though.

Hitchens in a drunk and an obnoxious jerk, but it's difficult to question his intellect or debate skills. There aren't a lot of people that come off looking great when going one-on-one with Hitchens.
I must say that I was amused several weeks ago when Hitchens and some rapper almost came to blows on the Bill Maher show.
