Survey Reveals a Lot About Both Candidates

The 25 question survey done by the Columbus Dispatch that sought answers from Gov. Ted Strickland, Democrat, and John Kasich, Republican, was meant to add some humor to the campaign.  However, the responses of the candidates reveals a lot about their personalities.

Here is a brief summary of each candidates responses from the Dispatch---

Gov. Ted Strickland prefers - Jack Daniels, news from MSNBC, an anniversary dinner at Tumbleweed, took statistics in college...

John Kasich likes red wine, newspapers, taking wife to see U2 to Chicago for anniversary, took college math (?)...

Here are some specific questions and answers from the Dispatch:

9. What is your favorite movie, and who are your favorite actor and actress?

TS: Sophie's Choice,

Paul Newman, Meryl Streep

JK: Seabiscuit - I love it and have seen it half a dozen times. Actor:

Harrison Ford. Actress: Reese Witherspoon.

17. Who was the best

U.S. president?

TS: FDR

JK: George Washington

(Shocker!!!! Kasich didn't say Reagan.  He might be banned from the Ronald Reagan fan club and be forced to give up his decoder ring.)

The questionnaire probably doesn't change voters opinions but it shows a few things about both.  Strickland's movie pick is an incredible movie with a heart-wrenching story line.  Kasich's favorite movie was about a horse. Strickland took his wife to a nice restaurant for their anniversary.  Kasich, a millionaire, went to Chicago with his wife for a concert for their anniversary.

The most important bit of information from this article is that Kasich talks too much.  If you ever meet him and he starts talking, you'll soon want to beg him to be quiet.
