Will Ohio Urban Voter Apathy Propel John Kasich Toward Bigger Things?

2. I hope I am wrong, I really do

But Democrats can't seem to run candidates who can get out the vote, past the party choir.

Kasich got elected when Dayton stayed home, and Dayton is staying home even more so now than before. For the money that Whaley spent, which was astronomical considering the position, the actual number of voters who came out was pathetic and embarrassing.

Daytonians and Toledoans it seems are by and large done with voting in the current paradigm. I read that Cincinnati turnout was also very low.

My thought: Corporatist dems can't bring out the vote, or inspire the masses. Obama did it once, but people are now smart to it.
