Drawing an enthusiastic crowd to the Worcester Hibernian Cultural Center, he told Boston Globe reporters, “If I were there today, I would just be yelling at people on the way to the polls saying, ‘Hey! Vote for me!’ If somebody yelled at me when I was going to the polls, I’d vote against them.”
Worcester Magazine noted that Kasich got points for pronouncing ”Worcester” correctly, and that he lunched at Coney Island earlier in the day. Several Republican representatives from the area attended the event.
