“So what’s Mitts plan to get spending under control? If he doesn’t support Kasich’s plan, what’s Mitts plan? Raise taxes?”

First, it’s not Romney’s issue, it’s Kasich’s. It’s a state level mess.

Second, a plan that doesn’t work, isn’t a good plan. Rather than go for incremental reform, Kaisch went for the whole enchalada. If Ohio voters were given SB27 that asked public employees to pay a small fraction of their healthcare/retirement plans, and not hit the collective bargaining issue, it would have passed.

Ohio is a fundamentally blue collar state, a smart politician will operate with the conditions on the ground.

Ohio is a fundamentally blue collar state, a smart politician will operate with the conditions on the ground.

It can happen in Wisconsin and NOT Ohio? And Wisconsin's reforms went beyond Ohio's.

There has been ZERO ad pushes for YES on 2. Have not seen much anywhere, although I did receive a good flyer in the mail over the weekend. It said something like, "If these guys are against Issue 2 (with pictures of Obama, Biden and maybe one other person), then it may be good to be FOR it."

You must live in a different Ohio than I do. Central and Southwestern Ohio are not predominantly blue collar. It's the slimy NE sector that houses most of the union thugs. The only real union presence in my area is government employees.

Believe me, Issue 2 support is strong here.
