Those elected jobs must really be attractive and rewarding if so many people from both political parties are willing to cheat so badly to make sure they get elected.

OK, maybe it's not the candidates themselves who are doing the cheating. If it's the campaign staff or other people somehow associated with the candidate they cheat for...what are they expecting as the result of their candidate being elected? It's gotta be more than an 'attaboy'.

Somehow I don't think it's just liberal versus conservative enthusiasm.
