Seriously, Dennis Kucinich would stand a better chance against Kasich than this kid.

Kucinich was never going to run at all even with Portune. That was all speculation and when it was brought up to them, Kucinich just laughed (he does live in DC now, after all) and Portune said he wanted to be the one at the top of the ticket. I like Kucinich to, but he's considered a statewide joke (even in his own county to, I might add) and would turnoff voters heavily in swing areas and coal country. He's even more liberal than FitzGerald. If he was the nominee against Kasich, he'd get blown out of the water. FitzGerald, at least, can be taken seriously and has a realistic shot at taking him out.

So even if this poll was true, Kasich is really leading FitzGerald then 46-40 (Rios won't even break 1%). And like OC said, Kasich is still below 50 and his job approval is in the mid 40s which means he's in worser shape than Walker. Ohio Democratic front runners like Ryan and Strickland all rallied behind FitzGerald from the start and FitzGerald does have what it takes to win this for the state party, doubters or not.

LoL. For the third time (IIRC), I was provoking you.
