Christie Points To Absence Of GOP Rivals In NH

But the worst treatment was reserved for top campaign adviser Doug Preisse; the chairman of the Franklin County Republican Party was taken to the ground and snow stuffed down the back of his shirt by Kasich, aided by a New Hampshire legislator.

Kasich has said that if he “gets smoked” in New Hampshire his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination will be over.

Heading into the final days before New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primaries next week, Kasich is keeping his campaign positive, even bragging about how he asked the super PAC backing him not to run an ad hitting rival Marco Rubio.

Schwarzenegger, who governed the Sunshine State from 2003 to 2011, will participate in a televised town hall with Kasich and Granite State voters later Friday, The Columbus Dispatch reports.

The actor donated $2,700 to Kasich’s campaign late past year and has appeared at fundraisers for the OH governor, though he has not officially endorsed him.

Kasich finished eighth in this week’s Iowa caucuses; Texas Sen.

“I think it’s possible to push these regulations that we need”.

The Ohio governor, nearly immediately after stepping out of a barn here, found himself under siege from a collection of aides and media who lobbed the easy-to-pack New Hampshire snow into balls and threw them at the candidate.

Afterward, Kasich plans to hold a telephone town hall with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

“I think I have more credibility than someone who’s never done squat”, Kasich said.
