Kasich Kicks Fitzgerald's Ass All Over Ohio

[Dirty Socialist]

John Kasich stomped Fitzgerald's ass into the ground in Ohio's Governor's race. Kasich 64 percent, Fitzgerald 32 percent. We are hurting in RED Ohio!

1. We need gordon Lightfoot to write a song about it

[Dirty Socialist]

3. Well, it IS November!

2. That's nice to report it like fox would do it

[Dirty Socialist]

4. I'm Tellin' It Like It Is

Ain't I?

6. That is just what they say

[Dirty Socialist]

9. They would also say

The GOP is what Ohio needs. They would be wrong on that.

10. I agree

Kasich barely squeaked by with 64% of the vote.


Do you feel better now?

12. just reporting the numbers would have been fine. I guess we need to rub it in

5. A ham sandwich would have beaten Fitzgerald.

As usual, the Ohio Dems slated a weak field of candidates. It's unclear that there was a weaker candidate available. Had there been, I'm sure the Ohio Dems would have gone that route.

7. Correct

The Democratic Party here is pathetic. I have been seeing the State slip away from the Democrats for years. It's a miracle Obama won here the past two presidential elections.

8. Well...he mostly gave up

after the didn't-bother-to-get-a-driver's-license-for-10-years-but-was-driving-anyway scandal.

11. Then the people of Ohio

get what they deserve. See? That was easy.

[Dirty Socialist]

14. Things could be better with better leadership

Considering Obama won in Ohio in 2008 and 2012, Ohio could turn purple or even blue with a good state Democratic party.

13. He didn't have a serious challenger.

The result was no surprise.

15. Rove was the architect of this race

Rove used the old Gary Hart dirty trick of scandalizing a first class Democratic candidate by getting the press to focus on mundane human foibles that harm no one. That combined with getting the press to go along with the idea that, perhaps the brightest straight arrow candidate in the land need not be debated because he is so incorruptible that no special interest groups would fund him.

Ed Fitzgerald and Sharon Neuhardt were accurately described tonight by Ohio Senator Tracy Heard as two of the finest candidates running.
