According to Swamp Politics:

“In Ohio, Republican John Kasich, a former longtime congressman and also commentator for FOX News Channel, plans to file papers today for a bid for governor, according to a well-placed source.”

Ted Strickland is currently the governor of the state.  John Kasich is campaigning on the platform of changing the economic climate of the state.  Mr. Kasich was chairman of the House Budget Committee when Republicans ruled the House.  He is quite knowledgeable about economics and very good at explaining the complex ideas of economics in language that those of us without extensive knowledge of the subject can understand.  He is a relatively young man, with a very charming style.  I suspect he will run a good campaign and if elected will do a good job.
