TV ad war escalates in Strickland-Kasich race for governor
The TV ad war is escalating in the hotly contested Ohio governor’s race between Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland and Republican challenger John Kasich, the former Columbus-area U.S. House member.
Strickland’s campaign on Friday, Aug. 27, launched one 30-second statewide ad, “Truth”, that blasts Kasich for for his votes on trade issues while Kasich was in the U.S. House.
Strickland’s campaign also previewed a second ad that is to run “in the coming days.” “Nilda” that features a woman whose husband’s job, according to the ad, was “shipped to China.” It charges that Kasich, as a member of a company’s board of directors, played a role in outsourcing jobs.
Meanwhile, the Republican Governors’ Association launched an ad branding Strickland as a “hypocrite” on the trade issue. The ad says Strickland says that he wants to protect Ohioans from unfair trade and outsourcing but has acted otherwise as governor and when he served in Congress.

My partner and I really enjoyed reading this blog post, I was just itching to know do you trade featured posts? I am always trying to find someone to make trades with and merely thought I would ask.

Based upon Nilda’s accent and surname, is it the jobs to China that bother her?
