Putting Yourself on the Line, would you do it?

This week I am at the Georgia Newly Elected Officials Conference, held on the campus of the University of Georgia. For several years I have been an associate of the Carl Vinson Institute of Government and conducting sessions for elected officials.

As I was meeting these newly elected folks last night, I thought, how many of us would put ourselves out there in the political spotlight and run for office?

These individuals had their tax returns scanned, personal lives researched, and their past decisions analyzed. And now that they are elected, they have to work on behalf of their districts.

Tell me, would you run for political office?
