Liberal media love John Kasich, and so does Michigan's libertarian radio talker Steve Gruber

Liberal media love Governor John Kasich of Ohio.

For example:

WaPo:

"Kasich gives touching response to question on gay marriage"

Slate:

"A Republican Presidential Candidate Just Gave One of the Most Stirring Defenses of Medicaid You’ll Ever See"

MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell:

"Kasich's defense of taking the Medicaid money was absolutely a great defense. It could sell with Republican primary voters and it is terrific for a general election candidate."

Fake conservative radio talker Steve Gruber on Lansing's 1240 WJIM loves him too: 

Kasich is still the guy I think has the best resume and a unique style that lends itself well to him winning in the end. The latest polls show him surging in New Hampshire in the post debate surge. Remember New Hampshire is really the first state that matters. Sorry to the folks in Iowa but it is true. ... I see John Kasich rising to the top with his pragmatic approach, conservative fiscal attitude and his ability to work with people from all sides. I think he would be well served to ask Marco Rubio to join him on the ticket. Make no mistake a ticket that locks in Ohio and Florida for the Republicans will be very hard to ignore and I think these two offer a terrific one two punch. Plus you have Rubio’s Hispanic roots as a big bonus.

And here was Gruber's "me love you long time, sailor boy" in June:

Kasich, who is 62 and ready to lead our nation is the man to beat and I believe the most likely candidate to become the 45th President of the United States. I’ve been saying this on The Steve Gruber Show for almost two years but I want to make sure it is in writing as well.

It just goes to show once again that libertarianism has more in common with liberalism than it does with conservatism.

Liberal Stevie, John Kasich doesn't stand a chance!
