<<Public figures have no private lives, they know that when they run for public office.>>

True, Betty, when they FIRST run. Then they get into the habit of getting elected, they love the public life but they also want the private one back. Gets awfully complex, no?

Burnout is also prevalent among elected officials, as is hubris. Best case I can think of for term limits, although the argument that people should be able to vote for whomever they damn well please is, IMO, far more compelling...
