The eyes have disappeared from under those horn-rimmed glasses he sports.

That is correct. Basically lighting is blocked by the large lens frame and
temples on the glasses. Thus a shadow is cast.
Personally I think this is a means to promote another gov’t position after his tenure
as governor is over. Gets some national exposure with the candidates and hope whomever
is elected will put into some gov’t position on the national level. JMO.
It's not for money or power in his case. Politics was my career, and from up-front observation I know that once they're in the limelight and the center of attention it's just not possible for many politicians to retire and "go gently into that good night". The public "spotlight" is both seductive and rewarding to political egos.....and many times becomes addictive.
I think that wherever the Governor ends up in government he will perform admirably. He's a terrific administrator.
However, in my opinion, he just doesn't have enough of that particular "oomph" or "charisma" nor enough projection of that certain command/inner dynamics that it takes to capture a presidential brass ring.
The last couple GOP nominees didn't have "it" either. They never captured the public imagination and the results could have been predictable.
