He is the only GOP hopefull I could vote for in the General.
Now I am sure the RW Loons on here can now start slamming him and calling him a RINO. But he is the one hopeful that can win the General, if any can.
I live in Ohio, and I voted for him for him in his re-election bid for governor, for the simple reason that the Dems had a very bad candidate running against him. I would not vote for Kasich for president though. While Kasich's track record as governor looks good on paper, it's important to look deeper. Kasich balanced Ohio's budget with massive cuts to spending in education. The cuts were so large, practically every school district in the state was forced into passing new school levies just so they could keep the doors open. Many school districts lost as much as 20% of their total funding. In the end, districts in lower income areas were hurt the most, because it was much more difficult for them to pass additional school levies. Where school levies were passed, taxes just increased at the local level, so Kasich didn't balance the budget by making cuts to programs that actually could be cut. He robbed Peter to pay Paul. Cutting spending just so the costs can be passed on to another government jurisdiction is not the answer to workable government.
