9. Running for Prez is such a grueling ordeal, I wonder why the hell
anyone wants to! I respect Russfor recognizing he just didn't want it bad enough NOW and not generate a lot of supporters, only to have those hopes dashed during the campaign.

I don't fault him at all! As I said, I think you have to be a bit nuts to want to run for Prez at all!
