Deciding to run for office Running for elective office is not for those operate life impulsively.

It is a process.

It’s slightly different to running for re-election or for that matter, deciding to use existing good name recognition to propel into another political contest.

It’s a major lifestyle decision.

What’s the difference between politics of today compared to politics of the past?

Oops.

Actually, politics, as everything else today, moves in warp speed, where yesterday seems like forever and what existed the day before has no relationship to tomorrow.

Which is why I asked three of the best know political minds in the region to discuss the evolution and changes in the political landscape.
