The article in the New York Times give's insight to the American Public about what kinds of tactics the Democratic Party and the Republican party do in order to gain votes in their favor. What I found the most interesting about this article, is the fact that journalists are no longer able to report the campaigns accurately because both parties have set up different systems to evaluate who will most likely vote for them.
