How does "Gov. Kasich" sound?

Former congressman and TV commentator John Kasich is a guy I've had my eye on for a long time. He's one of the most articulate, intelligent Republicans around. He's not only a star in a party that's hungry for stars, but a first-rate political talent.

You may or may not recall that he made a run for the White House in 2000, and despite his inability to get much traction in that race was in all respects an impressive candidate. Hopefully the second time will be the charm; he'd make a fine president some day, and my gut tells me that he's going to get the chance.

In any case, at the moment, it appears quite likely that he'll be the next governor of the "mother of presidents," Ohio.

After that... who knows?
