Adding Up the Ohio GOP Mistakes

Now that we know that Gov. John Kasich's approval rating (see Qunnipiac) has slipped down even more, you wonder how he has the arrogance to continue to push his agenda.  According to the just released Quinnipiac Poll, Kasich has a disapproval rate of 50% and an approval of just 35%.

Of course, Kasich will continue to say that he doesn't look at polls and he really doesn't care what they say.  However, despite his mantra that polls don't matter to him, there has to be some sort of resentment on his part that the people of Ohio are not sharing his vision.

With Kasich's ties to Fox and Rupert Murdoch, any further revelations about phone hacking in the U.S. might allow the Kasich poll numbers to sink even more.

CBS Moneywatch:

...Murdoch gave $1 million to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and $1.25 million to the RGA, saying later that he hoped it would help Republican John Kasich, a former commentator on News Corp.'s Fox News. Kasich is now Ohio's governor....


....The DGA filed a complaint with the Ohio Elections Commission during the campaign alleging Fox provided Kasich with an illegal in-kind contribution when it displayed his website address during one of his appearances on "The O'Reilly Factor." It later amended the complaint to reflect Murdoch's remark that he hoped the money would help Kasich....

In case you missed it, Keith Olbermann has some prominent Republicans in his Worst Persons segment---




Kasich certainly is an embarrassment.  Ohioans that voted for this clown should be wearing paper bags over their heads.

Is this person above a former Kasich supporter?

If that wasn't enough about the sinking prospects of the Ohio GOP, Plunderbund now has information about an Ohio Republican and a domestic violence incident.  See Plunderbund posts: July 20th, and July 19th.
