It used to be that I didn’t think about running for Congress because I’ve led an unconventional life that doesn’t fit the profile of an officeholder. I also thought I’d never be able to raise the money even if I wanted to, which I didn’t. Finally, I’m terrible with names and basically too introverted to be good at going around and building support for a campaign.
Trump blew up the idea that you can’t have an unconventional life or a record of intemperate Tweets. And I’m not so sure I couldn’t raise the money I’d need.
But I’m still too introverted.
So, unless there’s some kind of massive #DraftBooman movement, I won’t be taking advantage of the DCCC’s decision to start early organizing in my PA-06 district.
I do get the feeling more often these days, though, that if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.
