It seems that Kasich can't handle anything outside of friendly Fox News.

[BREAKING:] Kasich bails out of NPR interview, leaves forum to Strickland

Just got word the John Kasich bailed on a scheduled interview with National Public Radio “Talk of the Nation” ten minutes before it was scheduled to air, leaving the interview solely with Strickland. Kasich pullout supposedly because he refused to agree to take questions from listeners.

Before you think this might be some Juan Williams-inspired boycott, Kasich also refused any reporter’s questions at the ORP’s coordinated campaign bus tour kickoff event this morning, too.
 
more likely fears that the call screenwriters are completely biased and will harm the campaign.

Neither can Strickland. He refuses to appear on Fox so what's the difference unless you are on Strickland's side which is very obvious.
They both were scheduled to appear on Talk of the Nation with Neil Conan, but Kasich chickened out 10 minutes before air time.

You had a point??? Kasich was 'interviewed' on Fox by friendly partisans - Hannity and O'Reilly. They could have never given Strickland the same puff treatment as they gave Kasich.

How do you know???? You and him never showed up, so you don't know.

So you agree that Kasich should not have gone on the NPR show. Your only problem is he changed his mind.

My problem is that he apparently backed out of a commitment. If you agree to appear, then be there.

With just over a week before the 2010 midterms, Ken Rudin can't wait for Wednesday to talk politics. Gov. Ted Strickland talks about the race for the Ohio Statehouse. His republican challenger, former congressman John Kasich, was scheduled to join the conversation, but later declined.

I don't know all the facts, perhaps you do. Was the format of the program a surprise to the candidate, or did NPR tell him before he made the committment.

I have no idea.
