What exactly do you get out of the experience? Just wondering why all these no-hope people keep running.

I think it's an interesting question.
Getting heard.
Getting your name out there to maybe assist in attaining a lower level of office - mayor, city councillor, school board, etc.
Gaining experience to run again.
Making a point.
The fun and thrill of the campaign - going to debates, being quoted, becoming "known."
Being treated by some as temporarily just as important as some very powerful people.
Is there something you want to announce, PH? :usa2:
They pay their rent with it.
Christine O'Donnell has made a career out of running for office...3 campaigns in 5 years...and since she uses her home as her campaign headquarters, she gets to use the money she raises to pay for her home.
Cool deal, huh?
Damn, that just shouldn't be legal.
