For Governor, for Attorney General and many other races for office there are candidates listed that few voters have ever heard of -- with no experience in public service and without enough financial resources to become competitive. In the 33rd Congressional District, being vacated by Democrat Henry Waxman, no less than 18 people are listed on the ballot. We won't name potential winners and losers for that or any other office, but it's worth asking why they run. Professor Jack Pitney teaches Political Science at Claremont McKenna College.
