Like our immigrant ancestors, politics continued to offer a way. It could be a way to survive, move up, or move on. The key was it provided a way. And, the good thing about it was an equal employment opportunity. For those who didnt make it through school, or needed a second chance it was a way for survive and move up. For those who kept things together and went to college it became a way to move up or move on. The main criteria was a desire and willingness to be part of one of the political organizations.
Bobby Campo was a 5'1" bowed leg 2nd generation Italian American with a decayed and crooked teeth. He probably officially dropped out of high school in the 10th grade. Probably because he needed a job, and he was willing to pitch in he worked on a few campaigns and became known as a worker.
