Does Gov. Kasich AND his consultants want the White House?

Ohio Governor John Kasich is coming closer to a presidential bid for 2016. In the last couple months, there has been a large amount of speculation on whether or not Gov. Kasich will run for the presidency. Some think he has a pretty good shot at potentially winning the nomination. According to a CNN.com article (http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/16/politics/john-kasich-2016/index.html), Kasich’s supporters are going to start raising large amounts of money. Without a doubt, Kasich has been surrounded by political consultants in the past months as he weighs his options on 2016. According to Denton, Jr. and Kuypers, political consultants “coordinate the activities of the media, advertising, public relations, and publicity” (Pg 174). In the next days, Kasich will be travelling to South Carolina and then to New Hampshire. Many political consultants, like those from CNN, argue that South Carolina is an important state for one to visit early. Kasich will be there for a few public events. As many know, New Hampshire is a very important state when it comes to the primaries, and he will be traveling here for a “Republican Leadership Summit.” An attorney by the name of E. Mark Braden has been in charge of the filing of paperwork for a non-profit called “New Day for America.” Mr. Braden could be acting as a consultant to Kasich, as he has extensive knowledge on campaign finance as well as Ohio politics. I am eager to hear Kasich’s decision.
