Two Problems with Kasich Strategy

The Cleveland Plain Dealer says there are two potential problems with Gov. John Kasich’s “playing-hard-to-get strategy” as he mulls a presidential bid.

“One, Kasich seems to be enjoying the attention a little too much. He knew that a trip to an electorally significant state would invite even more questions about his plans. But when those predictable questions came, Kasich was even coyer than usual… The second problem is that Kasich has done little to put himself in the competitive position he sees for himself at some undisclosed point in the future. He has no organization in early caucus or primary states. Republicans here say that, until this week, Kasich had not been on their radar screens as a presidential prospect.”
