My granddaddy (R.I.P.) was heavily involved in politics. Being a Republican in SC, he went quail hunting with the likes of Strom Thurmond and at least twice in his life ran for state senate. He had to of called into the local AM radio stations at least once a week and wrote editorials for the state newspaper and he was just a poor ole' chicken farmer. Unfortunately I never got the chance to ask him how he did the whole running bit because he passed away back in 2005.
Just like my grandfather, I inherited his obsession with politics. I currently would consider myself a conservative/center Dem (or Blue Dog I guess) but I suppose that is besides the point. When I get older, how would I go about representing my counties or regions, or even become a Representative? Is there something they all have in common? Should I take up political science in school? Do I need to get a petition going to even get considered? The entire process is just something that I suppose goes past me and was just curious if anyone could help with this.
