So, could you perhaps run for office so that I might be
honored to cast my vote for you?

Thank you for the vote of confidence. I'm flattered. However, whatever political career I might pursue would stay on a local level. In today's political climate, I don't believe I would make a "good" national candidate. I'm an average-looking middle-aged single white guy of limited means and ambition. I tend toward the libertarian ideals on most issues and would not vote in favor of ANY special interests over the interests of the taxpayers were I in a position to do so. But I'm not a member of any party. I couldn't, in good conscience, take campaign money from any group, union or corporation. If I were elected, I doubt whether I would serve more than one term. I'm friendly enough that most people seem to like me, but not outgoing enough to to be an effective campaigner. Giving speaches, pressing the flesh and kissing babies is just not my style. I think Congress could use a lot more people like me, but I just don't see that happening anytime soon.
