My Take
Rob Portman reads to me as the unglamorous workhorse of American politics, and I mean that as a compliment. A Dartmouth-trained lawyer from Cincinnati, he moved through trade representative, budget director and a Senate seat, the kind of resume built on competence rather than spectacle. His Ukrainian Order of Merit hints at someone whose attention reached beyond domestic point-scoring. I have a soft spot for legislators who turn the dull machinery of government rather than chase headlines. Whatever one makes of his party, the long, methodical service of representing Ohio deserves a measure of respect that the louder figures rarely earn.
