 No. 

But also possibly if a few people I know get elected locally. 

The prime example of this is Ron Paul.

 Sorry, I thought we were doing the blanket statement thing. “Can’t trust the rich.” Of course there are exceptions to every thing. I was just expressing a sentiment. They have to come out and mingle and do the song and dance charade for a bunch of nobodies.

 Ron Paul and his wife are great people.  At the RNC convention in 2012?  A friend and I chatted with Carol Paul for a half hour.  We got to interact briefly with Ron Paul, but he was being swarmed by fans so that wasn't a deep interaction.

 Everyone I have ever heard of who has met them without already being "an enemy" has nothing but the best to say about him and his wife.
