Have you ever wondered why someone ran for congress when it was clear that an election spanking was imminent?  We sometimes forget that the Federal Election Commission has a process called “Test the Waters” design to explore the feasibility of running—like test driving a car.

One thing is clear: serious campaigns start with a groundswell of grassroots and local support, and must realistically determine if the voters want to toss the incumbent out. 

I think Joe Jackson is silly in the head to think he can find the next music superstars with his news music label/company but my friends from my Capitol Hill days and I have often sought the next congressional superstar (Newt, Obama, Nunn).  Not just another freshman but a person who would truly change the game and on some level address some major problems or concerns with our nation—Healthcare, teen pregnancy, education, spending, campaign finance reform.  Of course, my opportunistic crew would take credit for “the great find” with a best-selling book and a successful firm to follow. 

Ultimately, my goal is to date MSNBC’s Tamron Hall as readers of this blog know from last year.  Joe Jackson might seem a bit off in the head but heaven only knows his stage dad attitude led to the success of the J-5.  Okay, Mike got whippings but back in the day we all did and a good percentage of kids today need to go get their own switch…share the rod…share the rod.

Before I end my quest for the ideal candidate and get a job at my cousin’s dry cleaners, I want to point out the one candidate who would have been great for Georgia or Texas: Charlie Ward Jr.   Think about it: beloved son of the Thomasville/Valdosta area, FSU Heisman Trophy winner, NBA star who was a member of the fellowship of Christian Athletes in college and was raised strong in his faith by a great father who is wildly popular in Thomasville to this day. 

Charlie Ward or someone like him should seek from the center or even right to encourage our community to be self-reliant, strong and deliberate.  Test the Water; they might be just right but if it is not in your heart, don’t waste your time, resources and energy.  Like General Colin Powell said, you must have the fire in your belly.  And I am starting to admire people like Oprah and Palin who realize that their biggest impact might be functioning without the constraints of public office. i.e. Herman Cain.
