Yeah, but that's DC where there's a beltway culture of influence -- the 50 different Departments of State don't have much to be influenced by. They aren't elected. They're state-level bureaucrats... a shitty place to be. (I've been to their Harrisburg office, and it sucks.)

Furthermore, in PA it's the counties who decide which machine to have, so now you've got to influence 67 different county-level commissioners. It's a long road.
