It needs a leader like him. Then he can go back into politics. Take a swipe at Strickland or something else. He has a year to get into position to challenge Voinovitch, but Portman would be a better choice to replace that disappointment. Ken has Governor or President written on him and I would hate to see him get lost in the Senate.
I watched Portman present the budget and answer questions. He looked down the whole time. Otherwise, he was impressive.
