Probably just another reason we have a limited group of people who want to run for political office...

You've hit the nail on the head.

I'm lost when it comes to defining what type of person would put him/herself through the bureaucratic morass of public office at the national level.

Our country has done itself a great disservice when it comes to building a gene pool for future office holders. Not too many folks like to live in a fish bowl.

And I don't think the, "It's a shitty job, but someone's got to do it!" statement works very well in this situation, either.
