Does John Kasich Really Have a Chance?

[Fuzzy Bear]

Christie and Kasich have a better chance than people say they do.

Kasich, yes. 

Christie, no.

He most definitely could win, and I think he could put up a decent fight against Hillary, if not outright win, if he gets the nomination. However, that would require most of the current "establishment" candidates (Bush, Walker, Rubio, arguably Christie, etc.) to implode. Of course, that's not impossible. Christie's already disliked, Bush and Rubio are too similar and might eat up each others' support, and Walker hasn't officially entered the race yet, IIRC.

I listened to two podcasts recently. One was a National Review interview with Jeb Bush at a conservative gathering. Another was a National Review interview with John Kasich at the same gathering.

I think Kasich looks better on paper, but Jeb just seemed more comfortable discussing the issues. He has stuck to a polling lead, and had raised an obscene amountof money, while Kasich is obscure enough that he might not make the top ten cutoff.

Kasich has a shot, but he could very well end up being envious of Huntsman and Giuliani, who at least managed third place in a crucial early primary.
