[TheForge] YAK- who really runs the country

[theforge@mailman.qth.net]

  Actually I know a bit about this as I am a Republican Town Chairman and 
active in Connecticut state politics. The fact is that the only time most of 
these lawyers stop lawyering is while they are elected. Many are high salary 
specialty types in Environmental or corporate law or they are senior partners in 
big firms. They then go off to become even higher paid consultants or 
lobbyists... 

  As far as the "military types" I meant there is one active duty military 
person serving as a Senator... I do not know which one.

  I do see your point but here is a bit of insider insight for you.... it is 
too damn expensive to get elected on your own with only a few exceptions. Only 
the obscenely wealthy can do it. You have to fundraise like a fool to get 
elected...
