Handwriting speaks

Former Comptroller Bill Thompson’s signature suggests he does not show emotion.“He’s ruled by his head, not his heart,”“He’d be very cool under pressure.”Mr. Baggett described Mr. Thompson’s signature as the “most self controlled and objective” of the ones he reviewed. But he’s not going to be the most dynamic politician, he said.“He is logical, he is cool under pressure, he is a bit self-centered and that lacks impulsiveness.  He’s also secretive and he keeps his emotions close to the vest,” Mr. Baggett said. “He would be a great poker player, however he is not the smartest candidate and he is not the most egomaniacal candidate.”
