"This is the first vote on workers’ collective bargaining rights in the nation’s history and, as Plunderbund notes, marks the first time a governor has seen signature legislation rejected by voters in his or her first year."

Ironic, isn't 38% Kasich's approval rating ? Felt good to turn in that ballot today.

No mechanism to recall a governor in Ohio, unfortunately.

But Kasich is mortally wounded, his agenda is not only foundering, it is going down in a Titanic fashion. We need to tie every Republican in Ohio to Kasich and his Koch Brothers and Wall Street investment banker buddies.

Oh, and Mitt Romney wanting Detroit automakers to go bankrupt plays really, really well here in Ohio , which has one of the densest population of auto manufacturers and suppliers in the entire country outside of the state of Michigan.

Interesting that Mitt's comment on Detroit also hits Ohio. People will remember and not want him representing the USA.

I hope this sends shock waves across the country to all Republican governors. The Republicans will not get away with destroying the middle class.
