"But the day was not a wholesale victory for Democrats. Even as voters in Ohio delivered a blow to Gov. John R. Kasich, a Republican, and rejected his attempt to weaken collective bargaining for public employees, they approved a symbolic measure to exempt Ohio residents from the individual mandate required in Mr. Obama’s Health Care Law."

Ha! That shows they are actually smart voters. This is the worst bargain he struck in that deal. If they'd voted down his non-existent public option there'd be something to talk about. It is a strike against him as a pro-corporate stooge. He should take note.
