* TPMDC has a graph that will show you the sinking popularity of Republican governors (graph originally published at Bill Schneider's Inside Politics).
* Gov. John Kasich is like the kid that can't win fairly, and then changes the rules so that he will win. If you had one ounce of respect left for Kasich before, it will be gone after you read this:
Dispatch:
....Three sources told The Dispatch yesterday that Kasich administration officials and other Republicans who support Senate Bill 5 are talking to the Ohio Ballot Board about presenting the issue to voters so that they would cast votes on its many provisions, instead of a simple up or down vote on the law....
"I think that's an issue the ballot board will look at," said one source with knowledge of the discussions. "(The) ballot board has to figure (out) a lot of things - how many issues, language, and issue numbers. (Dividing the bill) is something being discussed."
...Although risky, polling shows that Kasich could hold on to at least a portion of the collective-bargaining changes he signed into law if the issue were divided on the ballot....
These latest moves by the Kasich administration and the Ohio Republicans makes me feel even more nauseous than I was when SB 5 passed.
Do you feel disgusted now that you know that the Kasich administration wants to trick you into supporting certain aspects of SB 5?
If Jon Husted, and the board that set the language for ballot issues, break up to SB 5 to confuse voters, how would you feel if they won on each issue?
Knowing what you know now about Kasich and the Ohio GOP, would you ever vote for a member of the Republican Party again?
The backroom meetings going on with Ohio Republicans and this administration clearly demonstrates that they have no respect for voters, and that they will do anything to win.
(pic: Cleveland Leader) John Kasich and the Ohio Republicans do not represent middle class Ohioans, and they have no interest in improving our lives. They desire to improve the lives and fatten the wallets of their wealthy contributors.
