What about Bob?

“Hit the Road, Bob” was one of the most popular political buttons sold today by vendors at the governor's inauguration. And it wasn't a reference to Bob Evans.

Others featured photos of Ted Strickland and his running-mate, Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher.

"It was a bargain at any price," one buyer said of the Bob Taft memento. Taft left for Africa on Monday, his 65th birthday, for a monthlong trip with his wife, Hope, to countries he once worked in as a Peace Corps volunteer.

The buttons were selling for $2 apiece.
