Kasich on Palin
Former U.S. representative and likely 2010 Ohio gubernatorial contender John Kasich of Columbus gave a fiery defense of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin at a breakfast for Ohio Republican delegates.
Kasich, a Fox commentator who left Congress in 2000, said he believes the media is “in the tank” for Barack Obama.
“I thought that was bad,” he said. “But that pales in comparison to the media’s treatment of the governor of Alaska. I think that represents blatant sexism. How dare they accuse her of not managing her family and her job?”
He said Bristol Palin, who is 17 and five months pregnant, “has been vetted more than Barack Obama.”
He also gave a preview of what will likely be his gubernatorial stump speech, calling Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland a “caretaker” of the office who is doing little to help Ohio’s economy.
“Ohio’s in trouble, and it needs to be fixed,” he said.
Lest you are curious about Kasich’s ambitions, Fox news commentator Sean Hannity thanked Kasich, calling him “the next governor of the state of Ohio.”
