It has been said that those who choose to seek the high road of humility in politics will never run into a traffic jam. There is more than a little truth in that statement. A friend of mine used to tell me that politics was for people who wanted to be in show business but didn’t have the looks. Might be a little truth there, too.
Politics undoubtedly attracts more than its fair share of oversized egos. Some of that is due to the filtering process of being a candidate. After all, it takes a certain amount of confidence to run for office. You open yourself to the comments and critiques of anyone who cares to weigh in.
