Really, what is your motive for wanting to scrap the magazine if you can't squeeze more ad dollars out of the advertisers? From what official AMA pollings state, most members seem to be sound as a pound. You were looking to serve the mebers in this regard, or was this for personal resons? Funny but all 3 other official candidates all share their same vision on where the magazine is going, or should I say staying.

Also Hoss you forgot some other definitions of politician from other dictionaries, like ... an elected official, a leader engaged in civil administration, a person who holds a political office, any person influencing group opinions. Oh and of course your description, which sounds very familiar to some of these forum rants.

So how could you not believe what you were trying to acheive is not a politcal seat? I think the other 3 politicians figured it out that politics doesn't end at just Republican and Democrat.
