I am a hypocrite here though, in the sense that if I were to run I would not give up my practice. I would hire someone on, or make some arrangements to have someone help me out, but almost certainly not give up my business.
Right, but you likely wouldn't run for office unless you could take a leave of absence no? Besides, even if you did, your practice is a private venture. If it's impacted by the campaign, you're the only one (and your family I guess) that would suffer the consequences. However, she is in public office and if she can't perform her duties. We as tax payers (whom she is only concerned about when it benefits her political standing) suffer.
