So the brain surgeons that are running the Kasich campaign have finally figured out that millions of dollars of unanswered negative campaign commercials might be hurting John Kasich's campaign for governor.  Congratulation you handsome fellows and welcome to Politics 101.

So their weeks late response is to highlight the attack and for Kasich to argue that he had little role at Lehman Brothers?  OK, then why were they paying him all of that money? 

Back a couple of years ago John Kasich was talking about how as a Managing Director of Lehman Brothers he worked with small, emerging companies and helped them obtain capital to expand.  I like that.  Nothing wrong with that at all.

But then some expert consultant somewhere told Kasich to scrub his website of any involvement at Lehman Brothers and pretend he was never there.  That's what started this asinine, idiotic line that John Kasich just ran a two person office in Columbus.

Here's a better description of his time on Wall Street here.

Surely John Kasich had some successes.  He serves on several corporate boards.  John Kasich, or better yet his wife Karen or Mary Taylor even should be talking about the jobs John Kasich created out in the heartland.  He did create some jobs didn't he?

Whatever.  One thing is for certain.  Kasich should have definitely not done the spot himself.  Kasich always come across as a little too excited, too animated, too bouncy.  You're not auditioning to play Tigger on a Winnie the Poo Live stage show John.  Switch to decaf or something.

Here's the ad, let me know what you think about it.
