Baldwin Wallace University
political science professor Barbara Palmer is quoted for a widely published story on Ohio's gubernatorial race. In an Associated Press story picked up by the
Cincinnati Enquirer, Toldeo Blade,
Dayton Daily News,
Washington Times and others, Palmer said it's "a stretch" to argue that incumbent Republican Governor John Kasich and his supporters have, as another expert put it,"shut out other conservative
voices and attacked FitzGerald full-force because they wanted to win by a
landslide in order to pave the way to a White House bid."
“I don’t see Kasich as the scorched earth candidate. He tried the
scorched-earth approach with the unions and it backfired, and he’s smart
enough to learn from that,” she said. “He seems to be running what I’d
call a textbook campaign.”
Meanwhile, BW has been confirmed as the site of one of only two
Cuyahoga County Executive candidate forums to be staged this fall.
BW's political science department will co-host the event with The
League of Women Voters on Wednesday, October 15 at 7 p.m. in Gamble
Auditorium.
