What about a Romney-Kasich ticket?
Frightening! Romney, a Bain Capital guy, and John Kasich, a former vice president at Lehman Brothers, would make a team guaranteed to make themselves masters and the rest of us the peasants. Although Ohioans might relish the chance to get Kasich out of the state, we just don't want him in any leadership role for our country.
>>> Gov. Kasich was in Cincinnati today for a meeting. Did he fly there? He could be there in two hours by car. Does he fly to every meeting that is outside of a thirty mile radius of the Statehouse? What a waste of tax money! No wonder the state has no money for road repairs!!!
*** There is another congressional candidate for Ohio's 15th district.
CirclevilleHerald:
The self-proclaimed dairy evangelist Warren Taylor is collecting signatures to file as an independent in the Ohio 15th District in the U.S. House of Representatives - not U.S. Senate as he originally planned.
In December, Taylor announced he was going to run against U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown, but said after speaking with area constituents they expressed support for Brown’s re-election. After doing more research into possible federal offices, Taylor said he decided the 15th District would be the best fit for him....
...The 15th District is currently represented by Republican Steve Stivers of Columbus, who has been in office for one year. He will be challenged by Charles Chope of Upper Arlington in the primary. Athens City Law Director Patrick Lang will take on major airline pilot and farmer Scott Wharton of Amanda in the Democratic primary....
You have to ask yourself why so many candidates are running against Steve Stivers? Are they unhappy that Stivers, the former bank lobbyist, is still protecting the 1%?

After what he said on CNN this morning, people are already designing the new Mitt Romney bumperstickers:
"I don't care about the poor."

In case you are interested, Mitt Romney's tax plan would reward the rich, according to an article in the LA Times, and analysis by the Tax Policy Center.
