The next stops for Kasich are the primaries in New England. Vermont and Massachusetts, whose media markets at points overlap with New Hampshire, where Kasich practically lived for the past several months, both hold primaries on March 1. The Maine primary follows on March 5. Those around Kasich believe he can capitalize on his investment in New Hampshire with voters in those surrounding states. Kasich is scheduled to spend the day of the South Carolina primary in Massachusetts ...
Still, Kasich’s biggest target other than his native Ohio remains Michigan, which will hold its primary on March 8. Kasich’s advisers have long said he could do well in the Midwest, which votes later in the calendar but is littered with winner-take-all states. Of those, Michigan, with its 59 delegates, comes first ...

Expect him to make an effort in Wisconsin and all the way to June's California primary.
Including Maryland and Oregon.
Vote Cruz
Kasich needs to find the instructions on how to fold up his tent.
Go TRUMP!

Unless the donor class is inspired and mobilized by a distant fourth place finish, I think the Kasich campaign’s next move is to deploy staff to busy traffic intersections to panhandle for money.

Who?
Nah, you want kasich to stay in and take some voters away from rubio.
Sort of looks like Yeb ... leans forward, shoulders hunched, you know, the standard Lurch posture, calls himself a Democrat - that guy
It all makes such perfect sense (to the GOPees): Rubio guarantees a win in Florida -- a critical swing state -- and Kasich guarantees a win in Ohio -- another critical swing state!
Of course they actually guarantee nothing of the sort, and then Hillary takes 58% of the vote against that pair of milquetoasts. But at least the liberal establishment remains in power in the Republican Country Club for another 4 years and isn't swept into the trash like they will be when Trump wins.
I hope Bush endorses the Karate Kid.
Split the Rubio vote.
I've never heard ANYONE mention Kasich. The man doesn't exist here.

It may takes years to fumigate the white house after the Obama infestation!
“My “evidence” is conversation with California (Bay Area) daughter who leans liberal.”
Just read a letter in our local rag from some transplant from Ohio to NE Florida who supports Kasich. A perfect example of why we should stop any immigration from the north to the south. “ole Johnny was so great for Ohio” we should vote for him here in Florida....kinda like the same thing we hear all the time, “we did it better back where I came from.” My general comment to those points is, if it was so great there, why are you here?
I’d like to see Cruz and Trump stop with the childish sniping at each other and focus their attacks where those attacks need to go — at the establishment (i.e. every other GOP candidate besides themselves and maybe Ben Carson) and the Democrats.
They need to understand that once ONE of Cruz-Trump is vanquished (that will be Cruz of course) the other will be easier to take down because he’ll be drawing ALL of the liberal fire from both parties.
So we need Cruz to survive until the convention instead of imploding, then kiss & make up with the nominee (Trump) in exchange for the VP slot or, much better, Scalia’s seat on the Court.
If it doesn’t work out that way, and we get that Rubio-Kasich or Rubio-whatever ticket, the liberal establishment of both parties can breathe a big sigh of relief since 8 years of “President Hillary” — which is exactly what we’ll get unless she croaks somewhere along the line — is vastly preferable to them than even one minute of “President Trump” or “President Cruz”.
I think Rubio will pick Haley if he wins.
She won’t bring in a state he would otherwise lose, but she’s a she.
Kashics plan was to start slow then tapper off.
What's my point? NOT ONE passerby said anything to support Kasich. I wonder if he might fool people in a few other states, but lose Ohio and neighboring Michigan.
