How can America attract good leaders to the thousands of elective offices in the land? In \u003cem\u003ePoliticians: The Worst Kind of People to Run the Government, Except for All the Others, \u003c\/em\u003e Bruce Chapman lays out a bold plan for the changes we need to make in our public life if we are serious about enabling worthy leaders to emerge and to succeed. Drawing on history as well as his own extensive experience in politics and public policy, Chapman challenges the conventional wisdom about politicians, arguing that their chief rivals--the media, bureaucrats, college professors, and even political \"reform\" groups--are often sources of further political demoralization rather than renewal. Republicans and Democrats alike, conservatives and liberals, have a stake in responding to the stirring and provocative challenge raised by this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruce K.
