Or at least think about it sometimes.
Do you think you could get elected?

I think about it. But then I realize what one must sacrifice and do to get elected and quickly change my mind.
I would want to be the person I am now when I am in office.....I just don't think that's possible on the national stage.

I could NEVER get elected in NYC

Yes.
Yes. :-*

Decided there is no way i could win. I couldnt make the sacrifices to be who people wanted me to be.

that's no suprise to anyone on this board but you should expand the radius a bit to approximately the entire planet
-
I believe I could make county commissioner someday. Good way to get rich while fucking over your constituency.

It'd be hard not to just look at your opponent in the debate and call him a kissass, phone, pandering little bitch ass.
Really, it would.
-
I have seriously thought about it... but I could never run attached to either party, which would guarantee my loss.
-
You guys are wimps! I will run and I will win! 8)

I've thought about it... It would come out that I post on getbig as hugo chavez and that would be the end of that lol
-
I could NEVER get elected in NYC on earth

LOL Probably true.
But then again - Obama did get elected and look how that worked out.

Yes

If you didnt go to st. Grottlesex ( the network of private schools in new england) or andover. And then attend either yale or harvard undergrad. Or if you didn make it in the club that early, you would have at least went to eithe harvard law or yale law school. Dont even think about it. Volunteer first.
And to answer no, and hell no.
Frankly, getting into an Ivy League law school isn't that difficult. You need a good (some would say 3.75 or so is "great" but I think it's merely "good") GPA and a hot LSAT score. It is numbers-based and they oftentimes don't even look at your major (because your numbers reflect well on them regardless). Thus, you can strategize and get a great GPA in pottery or some other such inane bullshit, and it will carry the same muster as a degree from a STEM field. And, the LSAT can be studied for months in advance.
It's much harder to get into, e.g., business school or grad school.
Some numbers to back this up:
Harvard Kennedy School: 4.7%
Harvard Philosophy Program: 5%
Harvard Business School: 6.5%
Harvard Law School acceptance rate: 13%
Further, the HLS numbers are misleading because they get a large number of applications from losers who never had a chance but nonetheless give it a final shot (since law is for whatever reason prestigious a large number of people with no chance apply anyways, hoping for a miracle). This sort of thing isn't happening in, e.g., the philosophy department; there is going to be very little fluff in that pool of applications. So the actual acceptance rate among viable HLS applicants is higher than the official 13%.
In short, the first step to being a big politician requires only moderate intelligence and proper planning.
