A quick check at Followthemoney.org, shows which big name contributors are depending on Republican John Kasich to deliver the goods for them.
Here are some interesting campaign contributions from Follow the Money:
- Murray Energy, that mining company, gave $17,885 to his campaign.

- Kasich is a big fan of charter schools, and White Hat Management has contributed $32,790 to the campaign.
There are plenty of others to review.
