Re:
Actually, I ran for State Rep once back in 1994. My Father died right in the middle of the campaign and I withdrew. I doubt I would have won because a friend of mine (we rode the same bus and graduated the same time!) who had been the rep from that area got into the race late. When I withdrew, I pledged to support her. She won that year and just retired as Senator to the Michigan Congress.

Stage Fright? Never, not after 17 years of hauling people to all of the 48 states, to every major National park and the top 50 cities.

And yet you didn't run for any office...

Re:
I love doing (or I used to) public speaking. I taught thousands of Red Cross First Aid and CPR classes. I taught EMT and Paramedic classes and have given speeches on many things in many places. The comedy stuff was just a natural spin off. If I had one closer, there's no doubt in my mind that I would be there on a regular basis.

I too suffer from stage fright. I have been invited to speak at several libraries and book signings. It just isn't something that I am comfortable doing.
