I am referring to the more widely accepted and popular definition of the word politician. I.E. knowing how to get what you want, power play, getting into office.. etc.
So if you know how to get what you want then that makes you a good politician. If you know how to win elections then that too makes you a good politician. All of our elected officials are good politicians but not all are good administrators.
