Like a Rock

We’ve focused a lot on Gov. Walker (R-WI) in the last few weeks because his own battle with state senate Democrats has been more colorful and cartoonish than any of the others around the country. But former Rep. and now Gov. John Kasich (R-OH) has been in a similar battle with Democrats in his state over budget cuts and union organizing rights. And the polls at least now have a verdict. His popularity has dropped dramatically in recent polls and a new one shows that if he had to run again against Ted Strickland, the guy he narrowly beat last November, he’d lose by a whopping 15 points.
