If people want to run for office, I absolutely encourage them to do so
As someone who has done it, however, I can tell you it is not a "crazy impossible thing" but it is a very challenging thing in every possible way
I learned so much doing it
Including that its not for me

You are really putting yourself out there and it's tough

Very few people who write and report about political issues have ever run for office themselves but it helps a lot
In case you are wondering, when I ran for office (in 2010) I did not accept PAC money
