		<description>I think that once in awhile people have reasonably altruistic reasons for running for office, ie. &quot;I want to be involved in community decision making&quot; etc, but I think that the majority of people are looking at it as an ability to attain some modicum of power</description>

		<description>Would you trust anybody who was willing to run for public office? If so, why?

Quality of candidates is a real problem at every level. Seems like most of the people who want to hold office have one or two issues of interest to them and little ability to figure out the other stuff. So they follow the party leadership.

If I wanted to run for office, I hope people would talk me out of it.</description>
