Qualified to be president. The governorships are the training grounds for the presidency and no other candidate has served as long as he in that capacity. I mentioned good looks to make the point that that is an attribute that does not hurt but helps in elections. Some people do vote on looks; I do not include myself among them as last election I voted McCain over Obama.
Well, if all it takes is a long record of being governor to overshadow a record of shocking corruption, it’s a shame Bob Taft isn’t running. He could really do well.
