Here is the best part:
Kasich takes part in re -election in November and abortion It can be a key problem In the race with Democrat Edward Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald warned that Ohio could become a state “Rub and don’t have” When it comes to healthcare and his colleague with a run, Sharen Neuhardtis an activist with abortion law served in the trust council Parenthood of Miami Valley planned in 1995–2002.
“John Kasich and many Republicans say that ED basically chose me because I have ovaries” Neuhardt said at a party in January. “Ed Fitzgerald chose me because I have a brain. Women in this state have brains, we have memories and we vote. Note for John Kasich: You are very sorry that you mixed up women in November. “
Well, not really. Sixty percent Women from Ohio voted for Republican John Kasich.
In fact, it was a massacre; Kasich easily beat Fitzgerald 64/33.
According to Exit polls, Kasich won:

The fact that Fitzgerald barely broke 40 percent in some of these key demographies really shows a pathetic campaign. To put more salt in the wound, asked: “Is anyone in the household a member of the union”; 21 percent of voters from Ohio said so, 79 percent said “no”. Of this, 21 percent of Kasich won 53/42 over Fitzgerald.
