Thats why both term limits and a restriction on running for other office
would be a good thing. You have a career/business etc and run for office
and your term is over you return back to doing whatever you were doing.
The folks who purchase politicians would need to work a lot harder that way.

It would probably be cheaper for them. They would know they wouldn't
have to pay anyone off for a time until the replacement race sorted
itself out. Now, they have to stay with the incumbent until he or she
decides not to run, usually the last year of their term.
