    A couple of things about Kasich......

    1. When 1st elected to the House, he received 50% of the vote in his district. When up for re-election, he received 70% of the vote. When he was 1st elected Governor, he received 49% of the vote. Last year, he was re-elected with 64% of the vote. The point is that the people who he represented in the swing state of Ohio have shown through their voting that he has done a great job representing them.

    2. He has experience in Washington as well as experience as a Governor, and in both instances, he has been effective. He has shown the ability to work across party lines as a Representative, and he has shown the ability to lead positive change as a CEO of the state of Ohio.

    3. He's not the most charismatic speaker on the planet. But if that's a qualification for the President of the US, we are all fucked.

    Every other pol you can think of would have backed down against the mobs in Madison. Walker didn't. Union membership in WI is down 70% in some Unions. Now, they're going to pass Right to Work Law in WI and Walker will sign it. Is there a Republican in this state with his set of balls?

    Walker has no chance to win, just like Ronald Reagan had no chance in 1980... (please notice WA, WI, and MA)

    Not much confidence in the voting electorate. We'll see, maybe it's changed.

    The current republican party has no chance to produce a victory like that anytime soon. The broad electorate is trending away from the party base (social conservatives) and that will only get worse over time. Wackjob social conservatives like Walker will never win a general election.

    Guys that look like creepy used car salesmen don't win the presidency, perhaps sad, but true. So that rules Walker out. Same with mustaches, so so long John Bolton. It's probably Jeb, Marco, or Rand.
