Then they'll lose. Look what happened in OH. The economy was dismal, and people wanted a change. They voted in state legislators who vote for the conservative issues a majority want.
Voted for by the state are Senator Portman and Gov Kasich, chosen by RINO ptb to run. The state tried to vote more conservative, and instead got these two. And Boehner from his district. What good is it to have RINOs such as these when they undo as much of the Republican agenda as dems would?
JMHO, Kasich has a chance of losing. All of his compromising and supporting business interests but not conservative issues has him coming across as a nice guy but not having guiding principles, except for throwing money around to people who need it the least.
He also was seen as a kid who job hopper. He went from state congress to the State Treasury and within a year was running for U.S. Senate. He was a little to much of an opportunist running against a dynastic name in a 50/50 state that had big Democrat turnout and the Obama fraud machine working Overtime.
As for Kasich. He will win by a landslide. He will take Ohio 57% (r)- 52% (d) - 1% (Nutter. He holds a 15% lead in a low turn out year against a job hopper from Cuyahoga County who was named Public Official #14 in one of the largest political corruption cases in the history of the country and certainly in the history of Ohio.
Also’ as much as I dislike some of what Kasich has done, including Medicare expansion. He has lowered taxes. Turned a multi-billion$ deficit into an $800 million surplus. added lots of jobs and opened the way for fracking and oil and gas exploration. The state is in a much better way than it was under Strickland and Fitzgerald is a nobody with no message.
I;m in Ohio and don’t think Kasich is going to lose in 2014. He is running against a nobody from Cleveland - the guy has no name recognition and his campaign is very low key. most don’t know or won’t know who he is until they go to the polls in November. I could be wrong, though.
