Mark Steyn just wrote a column about that very subject.

I agree with Mr. Steyn’s thesis.
Which means that perhaps our choices may be limited to choosing between evil and depraved minions of Satan who wish to make the state everything over all, or corrupted men who at least still have the dream of freedom and of limited government, no matter how flawed they themselves might be.
Men who are not corrupt, whose egos are not so large as to fill a galaxy, don't run for high political office. For one, they disdain the requirement to turn one’s insides out for all to view. For another, many honest men know that they are honest but not beyond temptation, and wisely choose not to go where they will be morally destroyed. Avoiding occasions of sin, and all that sort of thing.
