You might have thought the irascible John Kasich would, at some point, go gently into that good night (No, of course you didn’t), but now there may be the possibility that Kasich might be ever more visible as a member of the United States Senate.
That scenario didn’t lie in the cards until Friday, when the GOP frontrunner for the Senate seat in Ohio, Josh Mandel, pulled out of the race because of his wife’s illness. Mandel would have been a strong candidate; the former Marine won handily when he ran for the Ohio legislature and again when he was elected twice as the state’s treasurer. The only time he lost was when he ran against Sherrod Brown in the 2012 Senate race, although he was only six points shy.
