Strickland says no on VP - once more
Gov. Ted Strickland’s hot stuff these days for folks who want to know about the presidential race in Ohio.
Michele Norris of NPR’s “All Things Considered” is one of the latest to tap into the governor’ s knowledge with an interview broadcast on Tuesday, June 10.
Strickland - once again - ruled out VP aspirations.
“If drafted, I will not run; nominated, I will not accept and, if elected, I will not serve,” he said.
Strickland took a gentle swipe at John Kerry, suggesting fellow Democrat Kerry didn’t take a statewide approach when he lost Ohio in 2004.
“You can use the John Kerry approach or you can use the Ted Strickland approach ….recognizing that Ohio is big and diverse, that there are different economies in Ohio, and it is important to reach out to all Ohio,” Strickland said.
