>a list of qualities would be good.
Willing to do the job w/out pay -- NOT H. Ross, though -- so that the $$ isn't the issue.
Willing to put out an agenda that would revamp G'mnt -- get rid of pork, remove the pay from the congress (let the states pay the congress reps, in place of it coming out of the general Federal Fund), then we get to set the pay rates of the reps.
FOLLOW the agenda.
One that isn't a lawyer already -- ~90% lawyer == crook.
Has a good record of being very moral.
Raises children well -- kids are well behaved, and are old enough so that you and I see them well behaved throughout their life.
Sound financial practices within family/business</current political office>
Cannot easily be enticed based on the almighty dollar.
the list goes on and on.
