Have you ever been, or considered being, a candidate for public office?

*snort* No!

Karen, 23
Ames, IA USA

No.

Fisch, 47
Preston, CT USA

No. I would be too emotional and too unwilling to make the compromises that need to be made to be successful in this arena.

Felicia, 37
Lowell. MA USA

No. I never thought that my skills lay in the political arena.

Cathie, 53
Novi, MI USA

No. I've held offices in private organizations, but I'm well aware that I'm not a politically viable personality.

Jill, 61
Saylorsburg, PA USA

No. I'm nowhere near a good enough public speaker to become one.

Aly, 17
Cardiff UK

I once ran for the local school board, losing the election by seven votes. In the current political climate, however, I'd be reluctant to become any kind of public figure.

Jane, 63
West Linn, OR USA

Have never considered it...never would.

Tam

Funny you should ask. I just told my husband last night that I might consider running for town council in a couple of years. I wouldn't mind doing something on a very local level

Cindy, 41
VA USA

Considered, but haven't done more than that.

Ryan, 29
Riedlingen GERMANY

I considered it for like, one second then moved on.

Keri-Jade, 23
Brampton, Ontario CANADA

I'd like to change the world and I know politics is the way to do it. But I don't think I have the stomach for it.

Laura, 38
Lowell, MA USA

No. It does not appeal to me.

Janet, 45
E. Brunswick, NJ USA

No and No... although, I think if I did (and not to be self-serving here), I'd fare pretty well. I tend to be a people person and I think I could be a good politician (If I didn't dislike politics so much).

Doug2, 30
Kansas City, KS USA

Never. I don't think I'd make a very good politician.

Judy, 62
Easton, KS USA

Not really. I've joked about it a few times but that's about the extent of things.

Alias Irrelevante

i considered going into poli-sci for a while, but if i did that i was more interested in international relations, not necessarily public office

Cara, 19
Valparasio, IN USA

Aside from the PTA or school board in the distant future, nope.
