"I never wanted this for you, Michael...Senator Corleone, Governor Corleone..." I believe that Vito probably didn't want Michael to become the Don of the Corleone Family as it was under him. He didn't want Michael as another Vito. But, what did he want Michael to be and do as a senator or governor? A fighter for good government and clean elections? The legitimizer of the Corleone name, i.e., the anti-Vito? Or something more sinister? Your views?
It seamed to me, to be heart felt, of an old Man wanting the best for his favorite child.
So, I would say a clean solid Politician who would by being such, clean and polish the Family name.
