(Columbus) - Ohio Republican Party Chairman Kevin DeWine issued the following statement today regarding Gov. Ted Strickland's latest campaign speech attacking John Kasich:
"Every time the governor speaks he only reminds Ohioans that he has nothing to say. This race has become a contest between a challenger who's fighting to create Ohio jobs and a failed incumbent who's desperately trying to keep his own.
Ted Strickland and the Democrats have now spent millions of dollars on attack ads, and the governor's approval rating is not only still in the gutter but some polls now show John Kasich leading the race. The smear tactics haven't worked, so now they're trying to attack Kasich for being a fiscal conservative, who led the effort to balance the federal budget for the first time since man walked on the moon.
The governor has proven once again that he just doesn't get it. Ohio needs to spend less and lower the tax burden, not beg the federal government for another deficit-busting bailout. It's time for ideas and leadership in this state, and all we get from Ted Strickland lately are smear tactics and attack ads."
