I would be too. That's one thing about Schwartzenegger: it appears he can keep a lid on things--and so can his staffers. Enough of this leaking business. Politics need less of that, more of trustworthiness. Don't blame Ditka one teeney bit.
I say give him a couple days. We'll get a surprise announcement.
LOL! Consider for a minute the personality makeup of someone who actively seeks a position in local and state party politics. As far as I can tell, this kind of behavior would almost have to be a prerequisite for individuals interested in playing in local party politics.
The individuals who "desire" a position in local party politics are the individuals with a burning desire to control other people's lives. Face it, that's the common trait for all political types. They have an intense need to control, and a desire for power.
They cannot get it in their personal or professional lives (or they cannot get enough of it in their personal or professional lives) so they turn to government as a means to slake their thirst.
In times past, when the majority of the population was more interested in their own affairs, we had a greater number of "reluctant" and "part-time" politicians. In today's society, however, we have an abundance of control junkies and power mongers to play the role of professional politician.
