To an extent I agree with you. On the other hand, what do you give the man who already has everything? Why, the one thing he doesn’t already have, of course. Whether he sees the presidency as little more than a trophy or not, I don’t see any reason why he shouldn’t crave it even if it does mean a pay cut.
He’s bored. And probably really curious why Obama refuses to show his birth certificate. It’s unlikely he would go all the way. I think he will drop out at some point. In the meantime he’s helping the republicans more than he’s hurting them. He focuses on one issue (an issue I do NOT take lightly) which allows us to focus on the other issues: drilling, jobs, war with Libya... and the long list goes on
