Competing for the Toughest Job

Where do those presidential candidates get all that energy? What do they do if they get a cold or stomach ache? Can they whine or take time off? No, they are driven to succeed and they keep on going and going, crisscrossing the land, making speeches and being out there in full view. They must shake a million hands and give even more radiant, positive smiles. That in itself is a character building process, but it takes good acting skills, too. The application process for president is a long one, stretched out for months, actually years, but as some candidates drop out or are weeded out, we are left with only a few to choose from. In August two will remain. In November, one victor. All in all, it is an interesting year for politics, but I still don't know how they do it!
