William Howard Taft, the only man ever to be both president and chief justice of SCOTUS, would be quite ashamed of his descendent. Bob Taft, governor of Ohio, is in deep trouble. He's being indicted on four misdemeanor charges. If he's convicted, then the Republicans will lose some real power. Even though the Lt.Gov will take over, it's still a major blow, particularly his family's proud political heritage. Of course it also shows there is an aristocracy in the U.S., despite what some people say to the contrary.Mark Nicholas at BluegrassReport points out Fletcher may be in real trouble over this.

He also pointed out Senate President David Williams said Fletcher is in a real mess and Mitch McConnell is staying out of this fight. Fletcher's piloting a sinking ship and this will do a real number on the Republicans in Kentucky.

It seems the Republicans nationwide have painted themselves into a corner. The president is losing steam, Trent Lott and Bill Frist are fighting in the Senate and multiple governors are in trouble. Yep... the Republicans have a great machine but they so flagrantly disregard the law, that eventually get nailed. Then the population elects Democrats because of the crooked Republicans. The Dems get painted as weak and then the cycle starts all over again.
