I think, when you stop acting absurd about it, you'll realize that most folks in public office are not crooks or criminals at all.

I say let the guy run.  Let the child molesters and bank robbers run for office.  The electoral process works these things out.  It's why I don't agree with term limits.  Not only is it unconstitutional federally, the whole point of elections is to vote for the more effective representative of your community.
