It’s amazing in the current political cultural we live in that when a candidate says that they aren’t going to run again, that there must be a political scandal attached to that decisions. How about Michele Bachman and/or other politicians deciding that they are serving the public for a certain time period and then opening it up to others. I’m sure it can be draining to be a politician who takes strong positions against the current flow but maybe the individual beliefs like George Washington that politics isn’t truly about the person but the people.
