South Carolina, meet nice guy John Kasich.
The Ohio governor maintained the positive message that is increasingly defining his presidential campaign Wednesday, at campaign stops before larger-than-expected crowds.
“I am not going to run for president pitting one group against the other. I’m not going to run for president by having a negative message," he told a town hall crowd in Mount Pleasant. "Because I want the spirit of this country to be restored."
Kasich arrived fresh from his second-place finish in the New Hampshire Republican primary on Tuesday. Campaign staffers said they had previously expected 50 to show up to the noon town hall. Instead, about 300 jammed into and around Finn's Brick Oven and Pizza to see and hear Kasich, with half the crowd spilling onto the restaurant's patio and grass outside.
Kasich maintained a campaign pitch that has sometimes sounded better tailored to a general election rather than a Republican primary. He even threw a bone to Democrats.
