I do live in OH. The Medicaid stance is one of the government roles (that I disagree with) to which I was referring. Keep in mind, I’m a refugee from The People’s Republic of Maryland. Kasich is far and away better as a governor than what I fled and arrived to with Strickland.
OTOH, I'm not sure that necessarily translates to a broad-based national support. He doesn't have a lot of name recognition outside of Ohio so it will likely be an uphill struggle to build a winning campaign. But from an electorate vote viewpoint, we absolutely need Ohio. If it goes into Hillary's column we're pretty much done for.
Please spare the flames on Kasich's position on the issues. I understand a lot of FReepers hate him because of his stand on some issues. I'm talking about political strategy and winning elections here, which is something we should also be focused on.
