Can you imagine what it takes to run for president?

[Renew Deal]

Can you imagine stress and energy of running for president?
Can you imagine the pressure?
Can you imagine the absolute devastation of a rejection of your politics?
Can you imagine the pressure on your family?
Can you imagine handling the scrutiny of every single move?
Can you imagine the long hours with lack of sleep?
Can you imagine the travel?

I sure as hell can’t. I’ve got a pretty calm life and I have to deal with stresses and pressures. That’s nothing compared to what it takes to run for president. I’m surprised more of these candidates don’t go into Britney Spears style fits at every stop.

1. I really can't imagine it

No way.

2. No, I can't. I've thought about it and know that I personally could not get up at the

crack of dawn every day, live out of a suitcase or on a bus, have to be SPOT ON every single second of every day. It would be an emotionally and physically grueling marathon of epic proportions. After a week of it, I'd be in bed pulling the covers over.

4. I can't either

I give credit to all our candidates for staying sane during this entire grueling period. I would say they are very lucky to get 4-5 hours of sleep at night, and somedays they don't even get to go to sleep. Like John Edwards tonight. I would assume that Obama and Hillary won't be getting much sleep at all tonight either.

3. Who's the first to check in, then out, of rehab, then shave their head?

Let's start a pool.
