With the current system, if a politician wants to keep their job, they need to constantly be campaigning. Imagine if you had to re-interview for your current job every 2, 4, or 6 years against several other qualified candidates, and if any of them was able to impress your bosses more than you, they get the job and you are out on the street. You might spend a lot of time showing your bosses how great you are, depending of course on how much you want / need that job.

The better solution, IMHO, would be longer terms, but along with a one term limit for each office, and maybe a 2 term lifetime limit across all elected offices. That would get rid of the career politicians as well as the constant campaigning.
