CLEVELAND, Ohio --

As Republican Gov. John Kasich received slightly improved poll numbers Tuesday, the man he defeated last year and the man conventional wisdom pegs as a future candidate for his job shared a stage in Cleveland.

Former Gov. Ted Strickland and Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald, both Democrats, unloaded on Kasich at the American Constitution Society for Law and Policy's annual Northeast Ohio luncheon. The liberal organization is comprised largely of lawyers.

Strickland in particular sounded like he was angling for a rematch with Kasich in 2014. In a brief interview after the event, he acknowledged that he was considering another run.

"I'm certainly not taking it off the table," said Strickland, a former congressman from southeastern Ohio who served one term as governor before losing to Kasich last fall.
