The only necessity for gaining elected office is a bag of money, and the best way to get one is to write a book. For example, here in Minnesota, Mark Dayton ran for the Senate seat twice, and finally won after spending 12 million from his own pocket (double the amount from his first attempt, and about 3 times more than his opponents). He proposed implementing a tax on e-mails to stop spam... Yeah, right. They come from China, dude. He is an idiot with deep pockets inherited from his family fortune.
He is running for Governor here in 2010.
