This point about campaigns being more of a merit hierarchy (made by both PaintedTrollop and PickleAndGunner) sounds worthwhile to me. I admit that exactly zero percent of my own political experience was on campaigns.

Elegantly described. Thanks for this.

Can't figure out why James LeGros didn't work more after that movie. He was phenomenal!
