I think a felon should be allowed to run for office. I doubt he/she would get very far. But think about this, someone with a DUI is a felon, should they be banned from office after 20 years of sobriety?
Calling "Whoa!" on this.
Remember the DUI on GWB in Maine revealed just prior to the 2000 election?
Don't think DUI is a felony charge (had one m'self)
