I had it VERY big in Jan-Feb of '08 last year. Hillary-from-behind in NH put me in a dreadful mood. I remember I missed the first four periods
your post is funnier like this
edit: MUCH funnier
^^^^^^^^Hilarious, but we digress.
Strickland is far from being automatically thrown out. At this point I'd give him a 55% chance of getting re-elected. I think the anti-incumbent mood is strong enough for a decent challenger to topple Strickland but Kasich has yet to really define himself to the broader public. He's still mostly working the GOP crowd as far as I can tell. Anytime I see a quote from him it follows the same formula: an attack on Strickland followed by a noncommittal, wishy-washy answer about what he would do in the same situation.
Here's his "what I stand for" webpage:
1. Generic and non-specific GOP talking point.
2. Another generic GOP plank. Nevermind the fact that Strickland has already done a pretty good job of streamlining government and reducing spending. I think the part about regulation may be a glancing reference to our outdated construction contracting laws.
3. Requisite promise to reform education needed to win any governor's race in Ohio.
4. Empty political promise which ironically puts more blame on Republicans as prior to 2006 they had been in sole control of state government for over a decade and they still control the Ohio Senate.
