text: Most people in America could not afford to give thousands of dollars to the candidates of their choice, so for the most part, the candidates would ignore almost everyone when it came to spending their time efficiently on the campaign trail. In other words, if you don’t have any money, you might be able to see a Presidential candidate speak if you are ambitious, maybe even ask a question from the audience, but you probably couldn’t get close enough to one unless you could pay $2000 plus at a fundraising event. To that end, many take the opportunity to manage a couple of minutes to mingle, and offer their support, with the hope their relationship will endure. What would you say for $1000 a minute?
  With the strong support of my dad, after Bill Clinton out-raised and then defeated incumbent George Bush Sr., Clinton offered to nominate my dad to become a Supreme Court Judge. My dad actually considered it and even spent a couple of days shadowing one to see what the day-to-day activity was like. He just wasn’t interested. Plus, he would be required to sell his law firm. He told me that it was actually a pretty boring job.
