Congressional candidate in running just to see what happens

ATLANTA - Angelos Petrakopoulos isn&#39;t about to quit his day job. <br> <br> The 30-year-old from Duluth installs restaurant software, but he also happens to be the Democratic candidate for the Eighth Congressional District in Georgia. <br> <br> He knows he can&#39;t beat beat five-term Republican incumbent Mac Collins. And he&#39;s not really trying. <br> <br> Petrakopoulos doesn&#39;t have yard signs, brochures or campaign contributions. He doesn&#39;t even live in the Eighth District, which is OK by Georgia law. <br> <br> And unlike nearly every other politician, he&#39;s not taking any shots at his opponent. <br> <br> Petrakopoulos said, ``He&#39;s done nothing wrong. In truth, he&#39;s done a good job.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> The campaign is an intellectual exercise dreamed up by Petrakopoulos and friends during wide-ranging conversations over glasses of beer and cups of coffee. <br> <br> They hope to learn how the political system works, armed with little more than a copy of ``Politics for Dummies.&#39;&#39; Petrakopoulos hasn&#39;t raised one cent in campaign contributions. <br> <br> Collins, who has raised $570,000, said he doesn&#39;t mind his opposition because American politics welcomes all kinds of candidates. <br> <br> Collins said, ``That&#39;s why we have the system we do. It&#39;s not diminishing the process. It&#39;s just part of the process.&#39;&#39;
