Reply #9: He's got no 'karazma' [View All]

[Philostopher]

to quote David Lee Roth's 'Just A Gigolo' video. Now, usually when a public figure has none of this highly-prized 'karazma,' he has to actually govern well -- governing well, even if people disagree with you, generally can make up for a lack of personality, ability to connect with people, etc. Only problem is, Taft ain't too good at that, either.

The Ohio Dem party has been a shambles for ages. The Repubs have done a similar redistricting tango to the one that was visited upon Texas, they've just done it slower, so the frog never really got all het up. The result is the same -- 'they' win everything because they've gerrymandered traditional Dem voting blocs until they're thin as snot rags.

So really, Taft has been elected and was re-elected because he has a whoop-de-do political legacy hanging off his name. I have yet to see a local newspaper picture that didn't make him look like he was lined up for an open audition for the Monty Python 'Upperclass Twit Of The Year' sketch. He'd win, by the way. He's an upperclass twit, and the Republicans could get an unmatched gymsock into the governor's mansion because there are only five registered Democrats voting in any given district.
