Who on DU Do You Want To See Running For Office?

[Plaid Adder]

Leaving aside folks like AWD who actually ARE running for office...who on DU needs to be talked into it?

or, conversely, who on DU needs to be kept away from the steering wheel at all costs?

C ya,

The Plaid Adder

[RandomKoolzip]

1. You!

You've got a great mind, and have a wonderful grasp on the problems facing the country right now, if your writing is any indication...

[LuminousX]

2. who on DU needs to be kept away from the steering wheel at all costs?

Me.

I'm an authoritarian waiting to happen.

3. Magic Rat

he would highlight the importance of sexual education classes.

[unblock]

4. i wouldn't wish "running for office" on my worst enemy

actually serving public office is another story entirely.

the running part just plain sucks.

[AWD]

7. I disagree...

...I'm having a GREAT time running.

How often do you get to stand in front of people in suits and dresses, tell them exactly how you feel about politics, and have them applaud AND donate to you to do it?

[GOPisEvil]

8. You stand in front of people in suits AND dresses?

Man, I couldn't BUY a straight line like that...

;-)

[AWD]

9. Yes!

Some of them wear sport coats and skirts too....and those are the guys!

[JailBush]

10. You've got it backwards!

I've never actually served in office, but I think it could be incredibly frustrating and depressing. The same can be said for running, but it also has its positives. Getting a chance to speak your mind and putting even just a little fear in the local chamber of commerce is a rush. I never get much publicity because the media boycott me - a good sign that they're afraid of me - but they can't keep my statements out of the Voters Pamphlet. That ALONE is a good reason for people to run. Write a killer statement and include a link to a campaign website where you can bash the media that have been blacklisting you and otherwise educate the public - it's righteous.

5. Well, I know someone is going to say Will Pitt should run.

So I'll say it first.

[grannylib]

6. Yeah. Him and Plaid Adder both. Keep it away from me - I think I could do

it well except for the fact that I don't want to *lol* I am a privacy person...I like relative anonymity.

[salinen]

11. Running?

No way. Managing a campaign? hummm?

[AWD]

12. I would say slinkerwink

Although she's too young for major office, I can see it in her future. She's bright, articulate, outspoken, and perfect for our country.

[Paragon]

13. Kneel!

Kneel before Zod!

14. you forgot something

15. Why do you say this to me, when you know I will kill you for it?

;-)

16. I .... I ..... I

have powers I do not want to reveal. Do not tempt me :nuke:

[THUNDER HANDS]

17. I'd run for office if I could

I'd love that steering wheel. Mmmmm, pooooower.

:D

[JohnKleeb]

18. For the second question me as for the first I dont know

and if any of y'all say me :eyes:, dont you know I am shy as death.

[geniph]

19. Will Pitt, of course

can you imagine the campaign speeches? :D

[THUNDER HANDS]

20. yeah

And people thought Bill Clinton was long-winded. :D

[phillybri]

21. I'll second that!

:kick:

[camero]

22. I wouldn't mind running for a local office

Like a town commissioner just to make sure one of us regular guys are watching the others.
