I’m convinced. Kasich is completely committed to this. Any lingering doubt I had is gone.
He called in to our cc today and gave us a pep talk, and committing himself to go all the way. Not to be too Obamatic about it, but he’s the one we’ve been waiting for. As he told us today, when we get four or five more states this will become a national story, and when people realize what we’re doing they will rally to the cause. I’ve thought that all along, but couldn’t be sure. Because he’s involved himself, there’s no doubt about it.
The best thing, though, is not the much needed publicity he’ll give us. He’s going to be instrumental in getting the votes. He makes the case better than anybody, because of who he is, and what he’s done. With him going into Wyoming, Montana and Utah I bet we win all three. I can’t really talk about Idaho, but it could happen as well. We were already counting on the Dakotas. Even without Idaho that gets us to 29. West Virginia should be 30. South Carolina will be 31 by May. If Coburn signs on in Oklahoma it will be 32 — this year. Wisconsin will be 33 — but when? Idaho or Arizona could be 34. (Virginia is a last ditch effort in 2016, if need be.)
To the press, Kasich understandably downplays the chances of pulling this off. I wonder if he fully realizes how doable it is.
