A COL friend of mine in VA was asked to run for office by the head of the Republican delegation a number of years ago.  They picked him because he was about to retire from the military, he had no political baggage, he was a "fresh face" and incredibly personable.  They knew him because his wife (also a retired Col) was actitive in Republican politics.  That was my first thought when I saw Mike Durant.  War hero, no polotical baggage,etc.
