Kasich to launch first statewide TV ad on Monday: “New Day”
Republican challenger John Kasich is set to launch the first statewide TV ad of his campaign on Monday, Aug. 9, Kasich told supporters in an e-mail on Sunday.
The ad, “New Day”, is set at the DHL facility in Wilmington in Clinton County, site of a major loss of Ohio jobs. Kasich, running against Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland, tells a small group of listeners that he grew up in a blue-collar town and that his father carried mail. The campaign, he tells them, is about jobs.
The ad does not mention Strickland by name but says that the state has lost 400,000 jobs.
“My message to the people here is the sun is going to come up again. Together we push and pull. We get it done,” Kasich says in the 30-second ad.
Heres’ the ad:
Strickland campaign spokeswoman Lis Smith said in an e-mail that “only one candidate in this race can be trusted to create jobs here in Ohio and it’s not the Congressman from Wall St.”
Kasich, a former Columbus-area U.S. House member, also worked as a managing director for Lehman Brothers.

Best description of Kasich is that he’s a “waffling pessimist”. Always saying all other States are better than Ohio even KY. When asked about these statements, always backtracks, and denies - waffles.

Such a positive message, Kasich is telling us that things will improve, all steady Teddy can do run negative ads because he has nothing positive to tout about his term. Remember November… The sun will rise!

Ted Strickland will be releasing his next ad entitled “Uh..duh…The Recession’s Not My Fault.” It will contain all his success stories of putting Ohio back on the road to prosperity while he’s been governor. The commercial will last 3 seconds - only because our dimwit of a governor has to say “I’m Ted Strickland and I approved this message.” He’s a buffoon as are his supporters.

Business background? John Kasich has never had a real job in his life. Think back to the last time you got a $4 million bonus. He got his “job” at Lehman with his political connections.

Any campaign ad by either candidate that does not acknowledge the potential 8 billion dollars deficit and how to solve it is disingenuous.

Kasich doesn’t have an actual “business” background. He was a politician who then got a job with a financial firm because he was a politician and had political contacts. His ideas about creating a business-friendly environment would do so much the opposite that I suspect that’s not even his aim at all. He and his friends had 16 years already in which they destroyed the Ohio economy. It’s rebounding a little now, but Kasich would take it back into the dumpster. “New day”? Sounds like the same old Taft/Noe day to me — only worse.

Strickland had his chance, and he was ineffective. With Kasich’s business background, I have more confidence he can create a business-friendly environment that attacts business instead of driving them away.
