Which candidate for Ohio Governor is worthy of your trust?
Is it John Kasich? - Through his contacts with Ohio's government, he pushed, and cajoled Ohio's public pension funds to invest in Lehman Brothers. As a result, the state pension funds lost $480 million in Lehman's toxic assets. Kasich has vilified teachers, workers, public servants, and others.
Is it Ted Strickland?- Ted Strickland is an honorable man. Strickland has had to balance Ohio's budgets and, when cuts were needed, he did them fairly. Strickland himself did not lose jobs- - - the economy, the Wall Street meltdown, and the reckless economic policies of the Bush administration created the recession and job losses.

If you've visited Republican candidate Steve Stivers "plan for jobs" you are aware that there is nothing new there. Stivers, a former bank lobbyist, repeats the Republican mantra about cutting taxes, eliminating regulations, and other Republican talking points. Stivers has nothing new. He even wants to extend the Bush tax cuts, even though they would create more debt. Stivers has nothing new to offer.
