Political rumor

The hot news going around the state (and being reported by the Dayton Daily News) is that John Kasich will name Auditor Mary Taylor as his running mate in his campaign for governor. Incredibly, there are separate credible sources out there both confirming and refuting this rumor.

Regardless, Kasich is expected to tweet the news of his decision tomorrow at 1:30pm. Stay tuned.

UPDATE: Confirmed ... it will be Kasich/Taylor '10. Prepare yourselves for a lot of subjective, completely biased reporting on this topic in the months ahead.

  1. Good move. That will give the Auditor's seat to David Pepper.

  2. That might be the only seat you guys have after Ohioans fully ingest 4 years of Strickland and 2 of Obama ... :)

  4. Barb, I agree with you. Mary make a great auditor and a lock for re-election is critical for the GOP when it comes to having that seat filled for re-districting. Not confident she is up to the task of being Ohio's #2 & potentially #1. Of course, most Lt. Gov's aren't up to becoming the Gov.

    This would be a bad move. No one votes for Gov because who the Lt Gov will be.

  5. The ultimate truth here is that both parties suffer from the selfish motives of politicians. Both have elected individuals to state offices barely three years ago who said that they wanted to serve in that office and do a good job running it. Now both are abandoning that promise for the lure of a higher position. And, ironically, both seats are a part of the apportionment board.

  6. I don't know who will be voting for Strickland this term. He has the church people mad with gambling issues, the school people mad with cuts, the poor people mad with cutting Eli program. Kinda hard getting elected when you keep cutting on the people you make promises to.

  7. Perhaps he will get votes from all those people who say they wanted cuts in government spending!
