Jim, my one experience with Kasich is less awe-inspiring. It was
on Inauguration Day, 1997, as I was leaving a downtown D.C.
reception, waiting in a crowd of people for the elevator. When it
arrived, who stepped out but late-arriving John Kasich. On seeing
such a crowd he seemed rather bewildered, his eyes darting around
as if lost in the headlights. "Great day, great day," is all he
could say.
Bill Clinton's reinauguration made it a great day? Perhaps he
was simply being patriotic and celebrating the process. Still, it
made me wonder. Next thing I learned was that Kasich is a Grateful
Dead fan. That would explain the dazed look.
