“Personally I prefer someone who doesn’t need a team of advisors to tell him or her which way the wind is blowing.”

Obviously. I’m just guessing here, but maybe he was simply trying to have someone tell him what issues are important and what the best positions are...so he doesn’t get nailed like Sarah did. Reagan didn’t need the advisers, but then he didn’t have an office at the time. I just think that the ‘professional class’ of Republicans is so dominated by the McCain types that finding a decent adviser is next to impossible, within the party (even though 75% of us FReepers could do the job right). What would be neat would be Rush vetting and selecting advisers for people like Jindal....that would keep Jindal out of these messes.

True. There are way too many permanent political fixtures in Washington DC when the only things that are supposed to be permanent are the buildings and monuments.

Men like Washington and Jefferson were never career politicians. Politics was something that was mostly thrust upon them and they had no intent of it becoming the central focus of their lives. In most of Jefferson's post presidential writings he made it clear how much he had come to despise the job of politics and just wanted to go on with his life as a simple businessman.
