Coughlin Angling for Lt. Governor Slot...On Ted's Ticket?

Another week, another blistering attack from Republican State Senator Kevin Coughlin on his fellow Republican, John Kasich. Today, Coughlin attacks Ted Strickland's willingness to allow slot machines at Ohio's racetracks, but in the same attack, he calls out former Wall Street Executive John Kasich for not taking a position on gambling AND for paling around with gambling lobbyists.

Say it ain't so, John! That's not the way we do things in the "heartland," John!

From Coughlination :

"Equally troubling is the deafening silence from John Kasich.  Ohio voters who oppose casino-type gambling have a right to know where John Kasich stands on this important issue.  

"The fact is that John Kasich's top two campaign advisors are registered lobbyists for the gambling industry.  Douglas Preisse and his partner Robert Klaffky are not only coordinators of the Kasich campaign, they are paid lobbyists for the Ohio Legacy Fund,  a racetrack/gaming coalition that has spent millions to promote slot machines in our state.

Maybe Ted should add Coughlin to the Lt. Governor short list. He's quite the pitbull these days.
