A group of area businessmen and politicians approached me in 2009 and told me that if I run they would make it worth my while. I am now a 45 year old freshman congressman. I've given up my job where I was a partnership track attorney. The longer I last in Congress the more people I will meet, and the prospects of becoming a lobbyist after I am done increases with the number of reelections that I win. Women pursue me who wouldn't have looked at me back in college. No wonder the divorce rate among freshmen congressmen is 30 percent. I have the best medical care in the world

I don't like this job, I love it.
I will vote the way the whip tells me to.

Reality, what a concept.

Nice hypothetical situation VK.
