Hmm..when I read the article the first time I didn't get the impression that he was saying business people should stay away from politics. But I was closely following the 2008 election in CA and assumed that's what he was referring to.

I think business people should definitely be involved in politics. I think everyone should be involved in politics, as a matter of fact. Democracy is a wonderful thing.

But I don't think being successful at business automatically means you're going to be successful in politics as well.
