GOFFSTOWN, N.H. – John Kasich stuck with his “Stay positive” strategy in the final debate before Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary, on which the Ohio governor has staked his presidential campaign.

For Kasich, the debate offered one last chance to persuade New Hampshire’s famously last-minute deciders to give him a chance.

As the debate opened, it seemed Kasich’s positive approach might leave him out of the debate.

Candidates left Kasich alone during the debate, focusing on another candidate who took the stage in St. Anselm College riding a new wave of momentum.

New Hampshire voters who are considering Trump often say they’re also considering candidates ranging from Kasich to Cruz.

Time for me to go again,” Kasich guffawed.
