My uneducated opinion is that appointed/career people tend to do better. You do not want to get politics involved, that tends to screw things up.

- msrpotus 14y agoWho do you think appoints those people? It's all about politics, either directly or indirectly.
- arrrg 14y agoThere are ways of shielding those decisions from politics. Relying on appointed people is one such way. No shielding is perfect – but it’s better than nothing.
- pc86 14y agoHaving politicians appoint people they know is not going to be demonstrably better than having those same politicians ask people they know to run for that office instead.
