He's kidding, right?

The press rarely writes about such computerized campaign techniques. It’s too complicated, too technical, too … boring. It’s a hard story to cover because campaign aides don’t wish to talk about this seamier side of politics.

(Scholars & Rogues)

Politics has a seamier side? Gitouddahere.

Yes it does, this guy says, and it's data mining. Selling politicians, he seems to think, is not like selling soap. (One you wash your hands with....)

Me? I don't have time to worry about data mining, myself. I'm too worried about fire. I'm just saying, bunky, you start using fire, next thing you know you'll be burning things.
