A Future Candidate?????????

Gary Mauro has suggested that all of us could be future officials, so we're always on record. While I fully understand that everyone should always be aware of how they are perceived, there are several logical reasons why I should never run:

1. My life is issue-based, so I would run an issue-based campaign
   
2. I stay on message
3. I care too much
4. I love rhetoric
   
5. I listen
6. I'm unheard of, outside obscure circles
7. Let's try something new
8. Give people what they need, then what they want
9. Young people are smart, AND COOL!
10. Everyone counts

Hey wait.....

Obama, do you need an apprentice?
