I think I’d be a useful Congressmen in large part because I still understand and try to live by goals that really are worthwhile and enriching. <\/p>\n

Being elected is important and Minnesota’s Senator McCarthy was being a little too cynical when he looked at Hubert Humphrey and proclaimed that politics was no more important than an athletic competition.
