I guess I would be turned off by that.  Or rather, more concerned.  First, if he's that exhausted now...  everyone's exhausted on the campaign trail.  Everyone.  That can just never be an excuse.  I'm just thinking like a campaign manager now.  That's a major red flag and the time to reassess if it's really worth it.  If you're unable to run on adrenaline alone, you might not be up for the job.  You might not want it enough.  Or if you do, you might have a problem getting people to be excited enough.  That's probably not a huge concern for Bove, because of his name recognition.  But still...  Secondly, avoiding the question of your ability, qualifications, motivations for running for office ... that's almost always the main thing people want to know.  And if you don't know it, I mean, it speaks to a naivete about politics.  Don't get me wrong, I'd probably vote for Bove, on the basis of his badassness alone.  But if you don't know, are not absolutely certain of why you belong in politics and what you can accomplish there, and if you don't have a plan for accomplishing it, you're not going to last very long, I don't imagine.
