Hey @JohnKasich, you left this awesome Bill Clinton letter off your ‘Defending the Second Amendment’ policy webpage. Kasich – bold defender of your 2nd Amendment rights and the American way.
Former Obama Official Ray LaHood Just Endorsed This Republican Candidate. We consider this an endorsement NOT to vote for Kasich. La Hood was in our opinion a notorious nanny when he was Secretary of Transportation.
2016 New Hampshire Primaries. It ain’t over ’til it’s over but with ony 12% of the vote in many are declaring it over. Hillary’s already about to concede.
You can use the link to update. As an aside, Jim Gilmore, you should hang it up when “Other” gets more votes than you do.

Cruz wins Iowa Republican caucuses, Fox News projects. With 99% of the votes in, Huckabee has suspended his campaign and Martin O’Malley has suspended his campaign. Clinton has 50% vs. Sanders 49%. Probably close enough Hillary needs a underwear change. There should be a lot more Republicans packing it in after this.
Former Gov. Ted Strickland from the moment the November ballots were counted has tried to torpedo his successor, Gov. John Kasich.
The Columbus Dispatch is unhappy with former Ohio Governor Ted Strickland. Very unhappy. And we can’t imagine that the residents of the Buckeye State are thrilled with him, either.
There is a long tradition in American politics in which an outgoing elected official says his goodbyes and then clears the stage for his successor. Even after bitterly fought campaigns, losing officeholders who take the high road during and after the transition are respected for their graciousness and dignity.
Newly-elected Ohio Governor John Kasich wonders if former Governor Ted Strickland is tetched in the head
At the very least, this conveys respect for the office, and equally important, it shows respect for the will of the voters who decided that someone new should take the helm…
Sadly, former Gov. Ted Strickland has not taken that high road, instead choosing almost from the moment the November ballots were counted to try to torpedo his successor, Gov. John Kasich.
Of course, this is his prerogative. He is an Ohioan fully entitled to participate in politics and express his views. But most politicians do not choose to end their careers and cap their legacies by engaging in sour-grapes sniping and public efforts to undermine the successor whose administration is barely under way.
Let’s see now. Gerald Ford left the stage gracefully. Jimmy Carter is still spouting off. Ronald Reagan left the stage gracefully and so did George H. W. Bush. Bill Clinton is still screaming, “Hey, look at me!” George W. Bush retired gracefully. And let us put ourselves out on the line here and predict that Barack Obama is never, ever going to leave the spotlight.
So based on this quick review, it’s clear that the Columbus Dispatch and IHTM have misunderstood that long-standing American tradition. We now realize that outgoing Republican officials retire gracefully, but Democrats never stop annoying their constituents.
