Who is that guy? Go Bob Go......

During today's Columbus Marathon, a tall, quiet man in a dark winter cap stood alone outside his fenced Bexley mansion.

People who recognized him shook his gloved hand or high-fived him as they rounded the corner toward the four-mile mark of the 26.2-mile race.

"Who is that guy?" one runner asked another.

"That's Bob Taft."

Taft, a regular spectator of the annual event, was making his last race appearance as governor. He's just back from a trade mission in Mexico.

Hey, I know the Enquirer runs this blog for us political junkies and I appreciate your efforts, and enjoy most of the things you put on here.

But this one is just too much. Even us political junkies don't give a rat's rear about whether or not Bob Taft watched the Columbus Marathon.

You don’t get it. Jon’s story here is that our governor has fallen so far that people see him somewhere he has been for 8 years now and don’t even know who the heck he is. That’s Bob Tax’s legacy, that and a few other corrupt cronies like Jean Schmidt.
