Mary Taylor, the running mate of Republican, John Kasich, admits she went too far, according to the Dispatch.  Mary Taylor was acting as a Republican, not as an independent State Auditor.

* Have you noticed the attempts by Republican candidate John Kasich to vilify the public school teacher?  A quick search of the internet can bring up many speeches by Kasich in which he attacks classroom teachers, even those in his home district of Westerville, Ohio. (See Ohio15thblog for video and points to ponder.)

Some of the Kasich videos that you see on the web are sponsored by Kasich's organization, Recharge Ohio.  In examining the Kasich's organization, Recharge Ohio, Tammy Chabria is listed as the treasurer. Tammy Chabria is Jai Chabria's wife.  Jai Chabria is Kasich's buddy from Lehman Brothers.  This is how the Kasich business connection scenario will work for Ohio. Did you know that Kasich has lobbyists working within his campaign organization?  (See this Dispatch link.)What do they hope to gain for themselves and the companies/groups they represent?
