How is Speaker Pelosi doing these days? 
Really! 
We can take it for granted that if every incumbent lacked the personal flaws they do have incumbent, in general, would do a bit better on election day. Then again, if every challenger lacked the personal flaws they do have, they too might do a bit better on election day. And, if the true character of every person standing for office the first time was generally known, Congress probably wouldn't have as many mean drunks as it does have.
