While that average will make you a millionaire if you're a baseball player, all it means as a politician is that you have the stench of loss on you.

William Cellini, the recently convicted "Godfather of construction, hospitals and highways," lost 2 out of 3 elections. Then he was appointed to run the brand new Ill Dept. of Transportation and translated that post and his post tenure activities into becoming one of the richest people connected to the Illinois government ever. He did not care if you were GOP or Dem, so long as you went through him for any proposed deal. An equal opportunity thief, if we ever had one.

I don't think money is that much of a motivator for the guy anymore, with $190 million in the bank.

Some fairly low profile side gig that he could use to rob people wouldn't feed his ego enough.

If he flames out as frontrunner I'm sure he'll be pushing hard for the VEEP slot.
