After taking a look at John Kasich's Recharge Ohio calendar, it looks like he is speaking at three GOP County events over the next two weeks, starting with one Lincoln Day dinner in Kenton, Ohio tonight.
With the Draft John movement bursting at the seams, I'd love to get reports from my readers about how John is being received at these events, and any other details you can provide.
From what I've heard, John has been getting record crowds at each Lincoln Day dinner he has attended over the past 15 months, including a whopping 425 at the event in Gov. Strickland's hometown of Scioto County. For the uninitiated, in the past 425 attendees would be considered a vast success at even the biggest Ohio county Lincoln Day dinners. These dinners are fundraisers for the County Party in which they are hosted, and have given Kasich a chance to not only reach out to thousands upon thousands of GOP activists ready to hit the ground running when he announces, but also put untold amounts into GOP coffers throughout the state.
So, if you attend the upcoming dinners in Hardin, Jefferson or Richland counties, shoot me an e-mail at djtablesauce@gmail.com and we'll post it here on the blog. Thanks!
My wife Pam and I attended the Noble County Lincoln Day Dinner last Friday evening. John Kasich was their keynote speaker. They had a great crowd attending and I believe that was the first Lincoln Dinner they have held in several years. I am from Belmont County but have heard that Noble county is still buzzing in the barber shops (no pun intended), the restaurants, etc., about Kasich's visit to their county. It is refreshing to hear someone in the political field tell it like it is. There is light at the end of the tunnel, especially if John Kasich does decide to run for Governor. I am encouraged. Let's pray he does.
ReplyDeleteIn Pickaway county, people would explode in cheers when a possible Kasich campaign was mentioned. Quite amazing.
