Would you promote your poor performers?

Would you promote an employee who ranked a 2 out of 10 on his or her last performance review? That is exactly what the Democratic and Republican parties are asking us to do.

According to RealClearPolitics, only 21% of the country approves of the job Congress is doing. Yet, John McCain, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama are all sitting Senators and vying for this promotion.
