What do you think?
Taft says he won't resign because of the violations and leaders in the GOP-controlled Legislature say they will not initiate impeachment proceedings based on the ethics convictions.
However, the word on the street is leaning the other way.

He has spent his entire life dedicated to porking out at public expense.

Taft is the first Ohio governor to be charged and convicted of a crime. Now, he needs to be the seventh Ohio governor to resign the office.

If he resigns, fine. If he doesn't fine. He's pretty much made himself into a cipher and stands as a ready example of the uselessness of moderate stand-for-nothing politics.

Bob Taft should resign. Someone convicted of crimes while in office should not be serving as Ohio's governor.

Taft's disregard for individual rights and Ohio's economy is what is really unethical about his tenure as governor...Resignation papers please, Mr. Taft.
News
According to The Advocate:
Ohio can't afford another 16 months of failed leadership by a convicted lame-duck governor.
The Toledo Blade reported:
"I'm just mad as hell, if you want to know the truth," said Jim Westfall, a retired agribusiness executive who chairs Union County's Republican Party. "I think it will hurt us. I don't think [a] resignation will clean it up."
Elected Officials
Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman said:
It is time for him to do the honorable thing for the state of Ohio and resign from office. I was fully prepared to accept his apology, but revelations about what the governor knew or when he knew it are crippling the state's ability to get to the bottom of the larger scandal.
From ONN:
At least three Republicans have publicly called for Taft's resignation: state Rep. Jim Trakas of Independence, Hamilton County Clerk of Courts Greg Hartmann and state Sen. Jay Hottinger of Newark.
Lt. Gov. Bruce E. Johnson said:
The governor is going to serve out his term. But if something were to happen, I’m prepared to serve as governor.
Other Opinions
David Zanotti of The American Policy Roundtable said
The only honorable way to respect the Constitution, the office, and the people of Ohio is to resign.
What do you think?
I think what you published made a bunch of sense. But, consider this,
suppose you added a little information? I mean, I don't wish to tell you how to run your website, but what if you added something that makes people desire more? I mean "What Will Become of Taft?" is a little vanilla. You should look at Yahoo's front
page and note how they create news titles to grab people
to open the links. You might add a video or a related picture or two to grab people interested about what you've written. Just my opinion, it might make your website a little bit more interesting.

First of all I want to say superb blog! I had a quick question which I'd like to ask if you don't mind.
I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing.
I have had difficulty clearing my mind in getting my ideas out
there. I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost just trying to figure out how to begin.
Any suggestions or hints? Thanks!

An interesting discussion is definitely worth comment.
I do think that you ought to publish more about this subject matter, it might not
be a taboo matter but usually people don't discuss such topics. To the next! Many thanks!!

I tend not to write a bunch of remarks, but I looked through some remarks on "What Will Become of Taft?".
I do have 2 questions for you if you tend not to mind.
Could it be simply me or does it seem like some
of the comments look as if they are written by brain dead folks?
:-P And, if you are posting at additional sites,
I'd like to follow you. Would you list of every one of all your social pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
