When you think about it 9 months of non stop travel and saying the same thing 10 - 12 times a day. Why do we insists on putting our potential leaders through this exercise. To me it is a wonder anyone wants the job for what you go through (makes me question their motives at least).

It reminds me of a line from the movie "Brewtser's Millions"
(Richard Pryer and John Candy)
When Brewster decides to run for mayor/governor, his platform is 'None of the above" and describes his opponents with the following quote, that goes something like this:
"Why would a guy spend millions on a campaign for a job that only pays a hundred grand if they weren't planning on stealing it all back plus interest."
Enough said.

That's one way of looking at it.

To me, it explains why we always have the choices we wind up with

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
