Bolstered by a strong showing among women, Gov. Ted Strickland reclaimed the lead in the Ohio governor's race over Republican John Kasich, a new poll shows.
The Democrat holds a 5-point lead, 44 percent to 39 percent, compared to a deadlock at 40 percent in Quinnipiac University's previous poll in November.....
....Strickland tops Kasich 48 percent to 33 percent with female voters while Kasich leads 45 percent to 38 percent among males. The governor does slightly better among his fellow Democrats than the former congressman does among other Republicans. They split among independents, each with 38 percent.....
I wonder if the Kasich campaign will be quoting this poll????? Why is Kasich falling behind with women voters? Most of Kasich's talk has been about abolishing the state income tax. Working women know that Kasich's plans to abolish the state income tax would penalize their children, their neighborhood schools, the libraries, and the agencies that many women depend upon day after day.
* It is the same old song from John Boehner! The Columbus Dispatch headline reads:The article does not mention if Republican leader Boehner actually read the new proposal that had been put forth by President Obama. Boehner is against any and all health care reforms. Why?
1.) A bill that would allow health care reforms would forever mark the GOP as the party that stood in the way of health care improvements. The GOP doesn't want the President and the Democrats to win on anything.
2.) All those lobbyists that pay, I mean contribute, to golf with Boehner, would be unhappy.
3.) The Republicans in Congress like the status quo. They have health care and they don't give a damn if you don't.
4.) The Republicans still have not produced a health care reform bill of their own. It is clearly not one of their priorities.
The Republicans have no goals except to stand in the way of progress until they can get back in the majority. They clearly do not like being second fiddle. Americans should not look to the Republicans for any new ideas or solutions. Their "tea party" friends are nothing more than a group of right wing racists who woke up to the fact that the President of the United States doesn't look like them. I know it and you know it.
