I'm currently reading Renegade, a journalist's inside account of Obama's race to the White House. One thing I've liked so far, is that there was pretty substantial discussion of his decision to run.
Something I've wondered about for a long time is how a person gets to that point. I'm sure lots of kids declare that they're going to be president when they grow up, but I wonder how many presidents actually had their sites set there during their formative years. Or, is it more something that an individual somehow stumbles into? Do many just know they want a life in politics and then all of a sudden realize "hey - I've got a shot at being president. Let's try this"? Or is the road navigated more carefully and calculated? I'm just curious...
