Young people that are civic minded attempt to run for office. Unfortunately, many fail their first time around. In recipe format what is needed for a young person ( I consider 35 and younger to be a young person) to be a successful candidate. I'll go first.

In order to be a successful candidate you got to have the right mix of

Good looks 20%

Charisma 20%

Independent wealth (or means to attain donors) 10%

A political organization or major sponsor 25%

Excellent education credentials 20%

Good Luck 5%

To be involved in politics a person must have a driven attitude to make a difference for the good of the community, a leader who has the right credentials and a specail aura that others can look at and acknowledge a natural born leader. I think it takes patience to be involved in plitics, there are elements that can be negative at times, but that is an example, anything in life is not easy. The key is involvement with the community and not to be self-absorbed; be a selfishless person not selfish. I think thats whats important to the common man without the support of the people then there is no future.

A candidate that is destine for success has to have three things:

People skills 50%
Communication skills 25%
Well groomed appearence 25%

Put it in a bowl and stir! That's- it thats all. I have found that when I really find someone who has these qualities little if anything else really matters. I want to be around them. I understand them and they look good which means that I know they will represent me fairly well. In politics thats all people have time to really care about and all a successful candidate needs to get their vote.
