I'm already tired of hearing about Lehman. Let's talk about the real issues: jobs, taxes and being a competent leader.

Hypocrisy ! Interesting word (GOP)! Almost as good as (GOOD OLD Propaganda),but seriously why don't the GOP pass a Law that states anyone breaking the Law while being voted in by the people will lose their Pension and Health care benefits? You do have the majority in Columbus. Or are you scared it might effect you! Which seems to be your way with that yellow stripe down your back. I'm voting for Strickland no matter what your propaganda is.

Well if Obama is backing Strickland you know for sure he is one of them who are helping to greedily line each others pockets making him one of those yes men for Obama and his agenda. No wonder he has this all down pat of talking out both sides of his mouth, as everything he says is one huge lie as what he says is not what he does. He learned this corruptive maneuvering tactic from the absolute best of all liars, Obama. Just google it, Obama backs this joker up! They are both clowns, I can see all the fun they are having, can you? Vote these jokers out, time for new blood for Ohio and our Country as I have had enough Socialistic change, how about you?

Well at least Obama does not back up Kasich, maybe he should be on my list! If Strickland gets re elected Obama is sure to get re elected and we certainly do not want that!

Well it's nice to see the GOP coming out swinging for a change. Is Strickland a hypocrite? Of course. But taking money from Wall Street while decrying it is a Democratic past time. Democratic members of Congress took 5 times more than Republicans from the financial services sector in the last election cycle. Yet, with the help of their friends in the press, this inconvenient fact is routinely ignored.
But that's not the worst thing about Ted. The fact that's he incompetent is a far more pressing issue. Kasich sitting by the sidelines, hoping that people will notice this themselves, is a losing campaign strategy.
His campaign stinks. His advisers are horrible. He should be 10 to 15 points ahead but he's watching his lead slip away. Ohioans are aching for an alternative to the status quo. If Kasich doesn't get his act together, the status quo is exactly what we're going to get.

Both political parties reek of hypocrisy. I've seen posters on this board saying that only Republicans, or only Democrats are guilty of being hypocritical. The truth is, both parties fall into that category.

Politics, in my opinion, is a disgusting, wretched business as fact is something that you can't get from politicians.

In the case of the governor's race I personally will vote for the candidate who will be most fiscally responsible. In 2006 the Republicans deserved to lose, in my opinion, given the deplorable record of the Taft administration. I will judge Gov. Strickland on the basis of the economic performance of the state since he became Governor - which has not been good.

Kasich's role at Lehman Bros is not irrelevant! Our economic collapse (loss of 400,000 jobs under Strickland) was directly brought about by the collapse of Lehman Bros. No matter what role Kasich played in that collapse he was rewarded handsomely while the firm was crumbling around him.

Now he has the gall to ridicule Ted in nasty commercials for having to deal with the results of his employer's destructive behavior.

When Teddy is at the fair today do you think he will start touting all the great jobs (ride operators and ticket takers) he has just produced?

Kascich and Lehman Brother's isnt being overblown how about Kascich and Fox News?
Fox News is located where? Public does not need A Kascich Campaign Commercial needs
income sources for the last 6 to 8 years. Strickland and Kascich should be on fox News
together check out those contributor's. Fox was in the middle of Lehman's they for got
John Kascich .
