Ahhhhhh, Politics 101, GG...

If you are elected to anything then there's someone out there investigatin' you and tryin' to find dirt...

Goes way back... It's an American tradition...

I've been asked several times to run for various things over the years and the reason I don't is that it just plain ain't worth havin' folks nippin' at yer heels...

I gotta a business partner in one on my ventures who spent 4 "long" years on town council and by the end was countin' the days before that sentence was up...

For that reason, I will say that I have respect for everyone who has ever chosene to run for office, even if I dobn't agree with them on policies... No person should have to go thru that...

I was asked recently to run for the Page County Board of Supervisors by a prominent Democrat and told her, "No thanks... Right now I get along with about 99% of the folks in the county and if I ran then over half of them (this being a Repub county) would hate me"... That is a no bariner... I can do more where I amj, thank you...

Sure, Obama is a big target right now... You can take it to the "bank" that there are million$ of "fat cat dollars" who don't wnat him as president becuase they are scared that he is gonna shake them down by reversing Bush's tax cuts to thwe wealthy... They could throw a $100M at investigattions and 527's to keep him the heck outta the White House and it would be a bargain compared to what they have to loose... No, maje that a cool Billion $$$$ and still a bargain... Heck, at $50 friggin' billion $$$$$$$$ it would still be a bargain...

Like Bruce Springstein sang in "Big Muddy", "Sooner or later, it all comes down to money..."
