Um, no. Doesn't matter how much money you have when you realize what a
sucky job it ultimately is. I certainly would not run for much of any
office, even if I had billions of dollars worth of backing.

The REAL money is to mount an unsuccesfull campaign: all campaign
contributions not spent on the campaign can be left in the "campaign fund"
as an IRA.

The "secret" is to collect a lot of contributions and, then, not use them.
