Politico claims Kasich would be the GOP's best chance. I don't think he is worth discussing...

anymore than Huntsman is worth discussing, except in passing.

First, here is the link to the Politico article: http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/04/john-kasich-is-the-gop-only-hope-for-president-116855.html?ml=po#.VS_oavnF-So

As I said on my FB Page, if anyone thinks for a minute that a GOP governor who embraced ACA/Obamacare for his state has a prayer to get the GOP nomination, you are kidding yourself. For the GOP, that's even worse than Jeb and Rubio's moderate overtures toward immigration reform.

Politico may have a point, but as long as they're dreaming they might as well invent a candidate.

candidates. If Kasich is running, you mention every speech and in every debate at least once that he is for Obamacare. Multiply that times all the candidates running, and pretty soon that's how Kasich is defined in the mind of every GOP primary voter. And we know what those folks think of Obamacare.
