In my opinion, the cardinal sin of state politics is forgetting which race you are running in. For example, almost every tea party candidate is running against President Obama and not standing on issues that are important for their state or district. They forget that they are running for Congress or Governor, not for President of the United States. I was pleased, however, to see the focus of the Republican candidate for governor John Kasich. He recognizes the need for Ohio to become more business-friendly by doing away with needless regulation that is so prevalent in that state. Also Ohio needs to diversify their economy with more service and high tech jobs and not just wait for manufacturing to come back.
Also Kasich recognizes that health care is a pressing issue and has presented a free market alternative to Obamacare. This plan allows consumers to purchase health care across state lines, limit frivolous law suits, and cover pre-existing conditions. Although this plan requires an act of congress, it is refreshing to see a Republican take this issue head on instead of hiding his head in the sand. I believe great things are coming to Ohio if John Kasich is elected.
