Here’s what Governor Strickland and Congressman Kasich said about outsourcing in last night’s debate (Source: ONN/WBNS TV Channel 10)
Except John Kasich knows that Ohio has lost jobs to China… because he’s voted on corporate boards to ship Ohio manufacturing jobs overseas.
John Kasich lied last night to the people of Ohio. The only question is will anyone in the media call Kasich out on it.

Kasich Promises Openness for JobsOhio
Sept. 10, 2010 6:30 a.m.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio — Transparency will be a feature of the nonprofit corporation John Kasich wants to replace the Ohio Department of Development with, the Republican gubernatorial candidate said Thursday.
And yet, here’s John Kasich at the press gaggle at his announcement of JobsOhio:
Is anyone in the media going to call Kasich out on this whopper? Or is just us?
Also, John Kasich’s campaign spokesman implicitly praised Governor Strickland’s record on worker training programs—at an event [...]
Full Story... →David Pepper’s campaign just sent out an e-mail touting the media coverage his extensive plan for the office got yesterday:
Seriously, David, we’re below the Springfield News-Sun?
Somewhere, I think Joe Hallett might be throwing up inside his mouth a little…
Full Story... →There seems to be a growing consensus of opinion writers in Ohio’s newspapers that, well, John Kasich has no freakin’ clue what he’s talking about.
The Akron Beacon Journal wrote in an editorial that John Kasich’s JobsOhio plan demonstrates that Kasich, in their words, “[Kasich] doesn’t get it.”
The Cleveland Plain Dealer today examined Kasich’s JobsOhio plan and found that, yeah, the ABJ is right. Kasich just doesn’t get how Ohio government works, particularly when it comes to economic development and Third Frontier. On top of that, there are these issues:
Kasich’s plan raises [...]
Full Story... →It seems that the PERS office is in full damage control mode from a public relations standpoint. They’ve now publicly declared “Ohio Public Employees Retirement System Chief Executive Chris DeRose said today that advice offered via e-mail by a campaign operative for Republican candidate John Kasich to a pension executive was neither solicited nor followed.”
But the statement by PERS’ Chief Executive doesn’t in there. It then states, “[Kasich’s campaign spokeman’s e-mail] offered suggestions on explaining the losses to reporters.”
Kasich’s campaign contacted ex-Taft aides working within the highest levels of the state pension funds and pushed them [...]
Full Story... →Modern’s piece on Kasich is up. It’s all I promised and then some. Maybe not what you expected, but there’s a point to that. The right in Ohio has historically gone down the nasty rumor mill road more times than not. They typically do it when most vulnerable. You’ll remember the NAMBLA flailing about that eventually even made it into a debate between now Governor Strickland and his opponent Ken Blackwell (now fringe wingnut columnist).
Then there’s the “Strickland is gay” stuff, lead by Scott Pullins and other right wing bloggers. Now we have the “Ted may [...]
Full Story... →Ever see the fish at the end of the Faith No More “Epic” video? It defines the McCain campaign this week. They are flailing around like a fish out of water. Gasping for air or any sense of strategy or direction. Their latest toss it against the wall and see if it works strategy is to blame the media for their incompetence and for doing THEIR job of vetting a VP candidate.
Sad, really. Hopefully the media will buy into the advice of fellow journalist Joe Klein and not cave:
it is important for the public [...]
Full Story... →Not that it’s the first time I’ve ever disagreed with Brian Rothenberg, but it’s time to do so again. Brian and I are famous for our squaring off over a dinner with Barack Obama. We even had a few roundabouts in the office when I worked at ProgressOhio.
So here we go again.
Brian’s latest Shadows on High column reads like a defense of Marc Dann. The argument? It’s just SEX (and the media are obsessing over it).
Well, it’s not just about sex. The lurid details about pajamas or no pajamas aside, this story is about [...]
