That was me who said Damon would make a good politician.
He is good at portraying a certain public appearance. He makes problems go away and he has a charm that endears him to people (ie not most members of the Clique he is in) but people outside of it. Politicians can be and are often far different than the persona they portray. They are actually drawing on the same skills an actor does.
Yes Damon is a cold blooded killer. He is however direct which is what you need your politician to be.
As someone else stated hes a vampire who has become head of the Council thats purpose is to protect the town against the Vampires. Hes not a nice Vampire but again he uses his abilities to portray himself that the town needs. He killed Lexi to get a scapegoat, he used the body of Rose so Sheriff Forbes knows that he can best a Vampire solo AND that he is willing to risk that to protect the town.
Damon loves a party. Lets face it. Mystic Falls IS the party capital of the nation. He fits in.
Please DO aspire to be a Damon style politician. You will last longer in the role. Just when you bury your political enemies, dont do it in a location that is subject to flooding and where a neurotic blond cheerleader might stumble across the body. Burying body = bad. Burning Body = better.

Isobel isnt the only one with Vampiric Lore. If the information is still there that Vampire datadealer (who staked himself.. oh so cool scene there) would have a bucket load of data on that hard drive.
