the article linked listed 3 reasons why he's not conservative:

 

his spending in ohio was up by 18% while nationwide the average is 12%, but they also noted he kept his promise not to raise taxes. That's not enough information, why was spending up and on what? I don't know I don't live in Ohio and don't have any family in Ohio but labeling someone moderate or liberal because the states budget went up? If anything I'm impressed he managed a higher budget and still didn't raise taxes and as the article points out is responsible for net tax reductions.

 

the second is the most common I've heard he took the medicare expansion. I already said I don't fault him for taking it, it was his JOB to look out for the people of Ohio. How screwed up is it that not only did republicans fail to propose anything to counter Obamacare, once it passed they put poor people in a position of not being able to receive the help from the hardship Washington now forces on them. It's not like the people of the state can opt out, hell man why is it "responsible" for governors to say Washington passed a law I don't like so I'm going to refuse the federal funding to ease the pain these idiots are inflicting on you. That's not conservative that's stupid. 

 

On common core I completely disagree with him, that would be a legitimate reason for me to consider him moderate.
