No, but I watch them each week on local cable chan (and also follow them on the twitter feed).

The irony is - I work at City Hall and know many of the municipal/regional councillors. I talk to the mayor a few times each week.

Exactly. Those who would do a good job - don't want the job. They're too smart to get involved.

Ideally, we need someone who is stupid enough to take on the job...yet intelligent enough to do a good job.
