Romney on Kasich: ‘Unlike the Other People Running, He Has a Real Track Record’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
"A couple things I wanted to say, Which is America is looking to Ohio. America is looking to Ohio to do a job enter view. You've been in a job interview from time to time. I have. Sometimes they are uncomfortable and you sweat a little bit and you are nervous. In this case, this guy is going to be on the grill. You are the ones that are going to decide if he becomes the next president of the United States. [ Applause ] And you had this chance about six years ago. You were looking for someone to come to this state. You did some interviews and you concluded this was the man that you wanted as the governor. The reason was not just did he say the right thing. But he had a record. You could look at his resume, so to speak. You could see what he had done. He had been in Washington where he had helped balance the budget. And getting that done, the economy began to come back and create jobs for people across the country. So you said, you know, this guy has been there let's try him as governor. When he got in, you know he made a lot of changes. A lot of people said boy this is uncomfortable of but those changes made a difference. And now he has come back again to you. And he said look I'd like to be able to help take the reigns of the country. So the people of Ohio are once again, tomorrows, going to be able to decide who is it that should lead our nation. And this time you also have a track record you can look at. And the track record is hey this is a guy who came into Ohio when things were tough, when there is an $8 billion -- $8 billion budget gap. And he turned that around and turned it into a surplus. When you were losing employers and losing jobs every month, he turned that around. 400,000 jobs have been created. And he also has a little part of his resume that he was in Washington for a while worked with the armed services committee. You look that the guy and unlike the other people running he has a real track record. He has the kind of record that you want in Washington. And that's why I'm convinced that you are going to do the right thing tomorrow."
