Here is my plan--- I don't have one.

I visited John Kasich's new website called Fix Ohio Now. Unfortunately, Kasich has no plan to fix Ohio, but he wants YOU to give him your ideas. You'd think that with a website that shouts fix Ohio, John Kasich would have provided a some strategy, an outline, or hint of what he intends to do. No way.

Kasich is willing to attack and complain about Gov. Strickland, but Kasich remains unwilling and unable to present his own proposals.

Politico.com:

...Strickland’s campaign announced Friday it beat Kasich in cash raised over the past three months, maintaining a $2 million advantage over his Republican rival.

The first-term Democratic governor hauled in $1.3 million between April 23 and June 10 and has stockpiled $7.7 million for what is expected to be one of the marquee gubernatorial contests in the country this cycle. Kasich raised $1.27 million in the same stretch, and has $5.7 million on hand.

Campaign manager Aaron Pickrell said the $11.5 million Strickland has raised totals more than any incumbent governor in Ohio history....

Way to go, Ted!

**** Plunderbund has some additional details about the Kasich campaign and fundraising:

....John Kasich spent over three quarters of a million since the pre-primary finance report. And almost all of the spending is on consultants, (pollster and fundraising consultants).

His biggest campaign expense is Brooke Bodney, a Republican campaign finance consultant in Arizona. Yep, you read that right. John Kasich has outsourced his campaign fundraising outside of the State. So much for creating jobs in Ohio…

Kasich just loves to outsource.
