Having dealt with politicians for several years on the local and state level, you need the office, not the person in the office.

We had a mayor once that I did not personally care for at all. But, whenever we wanted publicity, whenever we had an event and wanted press coverage, whenever I wanted to get something done for the betterment of Rosie, that involved politics, my personal feelings were put aside and I dealt with the "position", not the person. Does that make sense? I got what I wanted, he/she got a photo op, everyone was happy!!

Well said, and I agree with you 100%.
