GOP stars rally for Kasich in Ohio

The Republican Governors Association took its cross-country road show to Ohio on Friday to stir up support for GOP gubernatorial nominee John Kasich, whose fight against Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland has become one of the closest and most unpredictable races in the country. 

Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, the RGA's chairman, joined Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie in Lebanon, Ohio where over 400 cheering Republicans crowded into a tiny conference room to catch a glimpse of three GOP stars, each of whom may one day seek the presidency.

Aiming to tie Strickland to some of President Obama's more controversial policies, the governors took turns bashing the health care reform bill, government bailouts of troubled industries and the sizeable federal deficit.

      I live in Ohio both Strickland and Kasich are worthless slim balls, neither will be able to "save" this state from falling farther down this recession hole!!!! Of the two, I'd say strickland is the lesser of two evils!!!!

    Running for political office on a forum of "less government" , isn't that redundant.

    Former President Bill Clinton compared Republicans to a football coach fired after several losing seasons who demands his job back after the new coach posts a winning record but still hasn't won a championship.

    It's well known that democracy & technology shape the future of a nation.
    Let's give Democrats a chance to make headway.
    　
    Former President Bill Clinton said "It took me four years to balance the budget, then I gave you four surpluses, paid $600 billion down on the national debt,"

    And I'd say : It took 8 years for the Bush mishandling to get a final verdict.
    Let's not fall for the outrageous claim : Heal the 8 year-long chronic disease quickly, but do not see a doctor, adding to the deficit.
