(6,336 posts)Others are, but the ones I've worked with aren't so bad. Even some of the GOP ones in my area are just regular guys.
Here are a list of contestants I'd like to see (not all politicians) in the first round. One of my former senators (who died in office) was worth about 50 million but you would have never guessed it by his voting record and positions.

The Walton family
David Koch
Charles Koch
Mitt Romney
Sheldon Adleson
Karl Rove
I'll add more as I think of them. I'd like my first class of contestants to have about 12.
