Kasich launches second statewide TV ad
Republican John Kasich on Sunday, Aug. 22, launched a second statewide TV ad in his campaign for governor against Democratic incumbent Ted Strickland.
In the ad, Kasich and state Auditor Mary Taylor, the GOP lieutenant governor candidate, are sitting in a diner talking to people about state budget problems and what Kasich says is the need to lower taxes and slim down government.
“We’re going to get the job done for the people of the state and we’re not going to let you down,” Kasich says in the ad. He does not mention Strickland.
Lis Smith, Strickland’s campaign spokeswoman, responded:
“Ted’s actions speak louder than Congressman Kasich’s words. Ted has done what Congressman Kasich only talks about- he has balanced two budgets while cutting spending and lowering taxes.”

TweetPoll: Ohio voters want to keep Bush tax cuts
Sixty-two percent of Ohio likely voters want to extend the so-called Bush tax cuts that are set to expire on Dec. 31, according to a Rasmussen Reports poll released on Sunday, Aug. 22.
The level of support in Ohio is 8 points above the finding on the national level, the poll found.
In the Ohio poll, 30 percent of the likely voters believe the tax cuts should expire at the end of 2010.
Also, the Ohio poll found that, given the choice, 52 percent preferred extending the tax cuts for all Americans. Thirty eight percent favored excluding the wealthy in the extension.
The telephone survey, done by automated calling, was conducted on Aug. 16, 2010, with 750 likely voters and had a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
