Default Personal Dilemma

The facts in question:

1. After bouncing around aimlessly for several years, I have settled into my dream job, teaching physics at my alma mater, among other things (teaching dance).
2. My wife and I are huge Ron Paul supporters. She is in fact a fanatic, and has been you-tubing blogs about Dr. Paul. These have become somewhat popular.
3. Ron Paul's congressional office called my wife today and requested that she submit a resume and interview for the position of press secretary.
4. My wife is in real danger of being offered this job, as she is smart, attractive, and has been press secretary for a Republican congressional campaign in the past, been the state Libertarian Party press secretary, has made appearances on The O'Reilly Factor, Crossfire, other nationally syndicated network news shows, and done dozens of radio interviews.
5. The job would require a move to the DC area.
6. The pay will probably not be very good for the DC area.
7. Having been out of research for several years, I do not have the publication record to get a very good academic job; the position I have now is a lecture position, I do my research in my spare time.
8. I don't want to move to DC, or leave my alma mater. When I got this job, it was like coming home, or waking up from a long bad dream.

I'm not looking for answers, but if you have any thoughts I will take them. I am extremely proud of my wife, and feel like I should be happy for her, but I dread the idea of uprooting our life and moving to DC, finding a job, and all that that entails.
