Political insiderdom

There are times I worry that I may be becoming a political junkie. But then I read a question like this:

If David Axelrod had run Hillary's campaign, and Mark Penn had run Obama's, a) would the outcome have been different and b) would we have had a very different understanding about the role gender and race play in this country? I think the answer to b) is definitely yes and to a) is perhaps yes.

And my lack of interest, or even of certainty as to what's being talked about, becomes reassuring.
