It seems some politicians retain their incumbent status even doing poorly...Pelosi

Mr. Finn....not arguing per se as I think I understand your point, but it ain't rocket science being a politician. That is the problem, MOST of US know more than these dinks as we live in a real world, yet society seems to "endow" them as some special brain trust upon successful election.....I believe the reason it is more frustrating to be in elected office these days (witness the retirement of Big Ben and soon to be Johanna) is that we don't buy the spin anymore and call their bluffs with the facts....

Oh yeah, I get it. The Libertarian in me is just driven nuts by the fact that the decision/power has been put into statute instead of being retained by the people. There are politicians who have done very well, and I would have liked to retain them (or at least the opportunity to do so) for longer than we are able.

It's part of the sales job they have to do to keep the paycheck and power flowing. Convince everyone that it is rocket science, and that you're the only rocket scientist. I'm sure that it's easy-peasy compared to competing for your job and performing in most corporations.
