Bob Taft

Robert Alphonso Taft II (born January 8, 1942) has been the Republican governor of the U.S. state of Ohio since 1999. He was born in Boston, Massachusetts.

Note on Name

Bob Taft's father was a Robert and so was his grandfather. However, he is not Robert Taft III, because the names of all three men are not identical. The grandfather was Robert Alphonso Taft and the father was just plain Robert Taft. Bob Taft's full name is identical to the grandfather's but not the father's, so he is Robert Alphonso Taft II.
