Those of us in the Empire State are seeing the immediate benefit of electing a Democratic governor. I'm sorry for people in those states, but it is coming at the immediate expense of the states of Ohio and Wisconsin with whom we have much in common. All because they voted to put Republicans in their governors' mansions.
Update: As noted in comments, this should have been titled "could gain".

... well, any other state except Ohio. Outsourcing Ohio's HSR jobs to other states is a central plank of John Kasich's run to become Governor of Ohio.
Of course, we don't expect people from places like Lehman Brothers to flat out say something like that: instead, they give a plausible sounding sound bite which then falls apart the minute you think about it. Their hope, it seems, is that nobody thinks about it.
So too with Kasich's plan to hand Ohio's $400m in HSR Stimulus Funds back to the Federal Government for another state to use ... he hides his plan behind a red herring.
