It’s interesting because the opposite seem to have happened in Wisconsin where people are getting pissed off at the government unions. This bit with Kasich and the unions I didn’t know about and explains things a little.
In a sane world publc employees wouldn’t be allowed to vote. A total conflict of interest.
Kasich was on Bill Cunningham’s radio show a couple weeks ago and they were saying his approval ratings are way up from where they were during his union legislation defeat.
The difference is that they had to wait until Walker was in office for a year before proceeding with his recall. By that time, the commonsense changes he put in place had begun to work beyond everyone's wildest dreams....and....the horrible scenarios painted by the left didn't materialize. SO the union scare and bully tactics served to piss people off instead of convince them.

I’m glad to hear that. Kasich sure had a fight on his hands, but is starting to see daylight on unemployment. I’m hoping people don’t attribute this to zero’s policies.
If Kasich had been smart enough to exempt safety forces (police and fire), as they did in Wisconsin and I think in Indiana too, the legislation would probably have passed and relatively easily. The police and fire fighters’ ads drew a far more sympathetic response that anything any other categories (including teachers) could have thrown at it. It was a miscalculation but it should not have much if any effect on this year’s presidential numbers.
Also, the Republicans didn’t do a good job at informing the electorate on what collective bargaining entailed. They didn’t run very many ads or put out a lot of information. Some people in Ohio think that teachers are gods.
Sounds good. Still getting those calls?
