Who is he? The current Ohio governor ran once before, in 2000, after a stint as Republican budget guru in the House. Between then and his election in 2010, he worked at Lehman Brothers. Molly Ball wrote a definitive profile in April. Is he running? Yes. His announcement was July 21 at Ohio State University in Columbus. Who wants him to run? Kasich's pitch: He's got better fiscal-conservative bona fides than any other candidate in the race, he's proven he can win blue-collar voters, and he's won twice in a crucial swing state. Can he win the nomination? Jeb Bush's slippage might create a good opening for Kasich: He's an executive with conservative bonafides but establishment appeal. But Kasich has a penchant for alienating the Republican base, so it remains to be seen whether he's the perfect substitute for Bush or just the Jon Hunstman of this cycleâ€a moderate Republican governor beloved of the media but not voters. What else do we know? John Kasich bought a Roots CD and hated it so much he threw it out of his car window. John Kasich hated the Coen brothers' classic Fargo so much he tried to get his local Blockbuster to quit renting it. George Will laughed at him. John Kasich is the Bill Brasky of philistinism. John Kasich probably hated that skit, too.
