Republican Presidential Candidate Kasich speaks in the Lowcountry

“I don’t think that it’s so critical that we have to have some exact time as to when it’s going to happen, and if I tried to give you a number, I wouldn’t be telling you the truth because we haven’t worked all the numbers out”, Kasich said.

He said Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who exited the race on Monday will be back in politics.

Kasich also made a campaign stop in Sioux City.

“Michigan became a tipping point for other states like Ohio, which Romney went on to win”, said Ronna Romney McDaniel, chairwoman of the Michigan Republican Party and a niece to Mitt Romney. “We don’t want to disrespect anybody in any of the states whether it’s Iowa or whether it’s South Carolina”, Kasich said. “Whatever he’s got in New Hampshire could melt on him”. “He led the U.S. House through one of the most politically polarizing and tumultuous periods in recent American history”.

“A lot of the people who are doing the complaining and saying, ‘Why isn’t anything getting done?’ – maybe they ought to look in the mirror”, he added.

He spoke about how he would make things better in Washington.

“Do not hold yourself in a position where you are a one-party group”, Kasich told the African-Americans in the audience, prompting cheers of approval.

Kasich is fighting much the same problem of finding a comfortable fit in South Carolina, a state he has now visited eight times.

At the national level, according to the new NBC/ORC poll released Sunday, Ohio’s term-limited governor finds himself looking up from the bottom, where he dwells with former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum. Gov. Kasich would undue all this coalition building in one sentence, then says American needs a coalition in the next sentence.
