I see. I feel very naive for this line of questioning, but I honestly think that it's something a lot of people don't think about (A- because you don't regularly hear about the public life of politicians other than scandals and B- because most of our politicians ARE career politicians) -- What does a senator, or representative do when they lose an election after a spot they've held for let's say, 4 or 6 or 8 years? Try to go for a lesser office? Or just wait until the next election?
