        Not far from what *we* expect of our congressmen.
Based on that,  Perot might not make a bad pres.

        Like I said,  I have more than once conciously decided,  "No,  I
don't want to work for him.".   (although I don't practice extramarital
sex,  haven't been divorced,  and don't (now) drink)

        If making such rules stick entails beating down private doors,
then no.   (I don't beat down doors,  and would appreciate it if you
don't beat down mine)   But the employer has the *right* to expect his
employees to uphold the corporate image.   When I sign-on with someone,
I (hopefully) *like* the image of the company I'm signing with.   And
when someone runs for congress/senate/anything,  he better uphold what
I,  as his constituency,  believe in.   So,  when Ross Perot gets on the
ballot,  he's agreeing to serve *me* not the other way around.

        I guess I'm hoping that he'll practice what he has preached.

        [now back to question mode;  will he live up to expectations?]
