The parties govern the parties! What could go wrong?

Campaign data is weird though...It is this amalgamation of what is pulled from voter files (publicly available information), purchased from corporate data sources and added by the campaign (or passed to it from other political organizations).

And of course those in power have a vested interest in keeping the status quo...
