"Did you go to Chuntian? What do you think?"

Song Ya then temporarily changed her itinerary and rushed back to Michel's Equity Organization Office in Chicago. She had agreed to it long ago and had to support her husband's election this year. There was no way. 1996 was the year of the election and she had to throw a lot of coins herself.

"Thinking? How do you say it?"

Song Ya didn't understand what Michelle was hinting, "Just, the office is very beautiful, we talked about employment issues..."

"Eli is the chief of staff, former assistant, director, personal lawyer, legal counsel, and old subordinate of the Cook County State Attorney's Office. What was his name? He was actually inserted into the state ethics committee in one step..."

Isn’t it just that one person has achieved enlightenment and can be ascended to heaven? Normally, Peter is so shitty that he must build a political firewall. He must use his own people in key positions. Song Ya shrugged, “Peter is a very strong politician…”

Michelle smiled and did not continue the topic. She had never liked Peter Flock, or even the Underwood couple. After years of running in Chicago politics, she had her own connections. For example, she worked as an assistant to Chicago Mayor Daley Jr. for a while, and several charitable and equal rights organizations she managed demonstrated a strong ability to raise funds and seek government funding. Last year, she helped her husband get the title of chairman of the Chicago public school reconstruction project. That project alone could use about 50 million yuan of municipal funds, and private donations were calculated.

After five years, his wealth has been soaring, but others will not stand still. Michelle is far from comparable to when he first met her in 1990s.

"Is there anything wrong with asking me for such a hurry?"

A cold dinner is being held here, and they are all well-dressed upper-class people. Many people look familiar but cannot name their names. Some people will greet them with a smile from afar, and some people will take the initiative to introduce themselves. One by one, and Song Ya feels that she can't handle it.

"Wait a minute, I will introduce a few people to you first..."

Michelle rushed to a black old man who was orthogonal in the distance and was talking to him. "Milton Davis, chairman of South Bank Bank, is the largest and oldest community development bank. They did a good job in Chicago. They also cooperated with the current commander in Arkansas to provide small credit to poor residents in the community to make political achievements and votes."

"I've heard of him."

Milton Davis is a rare black banker with a net worth... Anyway, I haven't seen him on the US rich list last year, because the nature of South Bank Bank is a bit similar to that of the inner city broadcaster. It has poor operating conditions but has great political influence. It can also get preferential policies from the local government from time to time, and then fund the black neighborhood people and small and medium-sized entrepreneurs to feed back the votes of politicians.

Milton Davis is much more glorious than Sutton and his son because he has legitimate power in the good relationships in the Donkey Party, such as Little Daley and the current Grand Commander.

"The white people over there are Mikwa, the former White House legal counsel, who is currently the chief executive. He is currently teaching at the University of Chicago Law School and is Jewish."

"And Axelrod, you must have heard of it."

"certainly."

Song Ya looked at Michelle in surprise. She didn't expect that today's cold dinner was hidden. Axelrod is the driving force behind many black politicians in Chicago. She once helped the first black mayor, Harold Washington, successfully elected. She is considered to be the best campaign adviser who is good at selling black politicians to white voters. Like Mikwa, he is Jewish, and is also the top campaign promoter for politicians, especially for black politicians.

These guys have a strong influence on Chicago's political arena and media. They can gather such a super lineup. Michelle's husband is basically elected this year. It can be seen from this that Daley Jr. has a great support, and Michelle's threading thread is indispensable.

Of course, these veterans of the campaign are not to show off their rabbits, and they will not come to support politicians with no future. Song Ya looked at Michelle's husband who was laughing happily under the attack of several black and white aunts. This guy is indeed very friendly. He is lit with white teeth and is both shy and freely saying something. The aunts are so funny that they are so funny that they are trembling by his words and they are all starting to get started!

It seems that she is not an ordinary aunt, she is both a female congressman with a surname in the nearby constituency. She is definitely not so unrestrained.

It seems like he is a bit of a killer? "Wow, it seems that you don't need me, Michelle." It seems that he has a little underestimated Michelle's political energy. This team is even one to two levels higher than Eli next to Peter Flock, but the stronger the allies, of course, it's better. Song Ya joked with her.

"No."

After years of friendship, Michelle pulled him to the place where he spoke alone, and expressed his troubles in detail and his attitude was very serious.

The story begins in the second half of last year. A black politician in Chicago, Rep. Mel Reynolds, slept with a minor volunteer in his campaign office. After the scandal was exposed, he naturally had to resign.

The donkey blacks are very valuable in every seat in the Federal House of Representatives. This vacancy cannot make whites pick up the gap. The Chicago black political circle immediately urgently discusses the candidates for the position. There are only two requirements, they must be black people, and they have a great grasp of the victory. After a few moments, they have fallen in love with Alice Palmer, a black female black Senator in the Illinois government.

Faced with this kind of pie from the sky, Alice Palmer is certainly willing to go further. She decided to go to Mel Reynolds' original constituency this year to run for the Federal Representatives.

This led to a chain reaction. After she left, she left a vacancies of Illinois government senators (not federal senators). Chicago's black political circle still needs to find a substitute. The senator constituency is larger than the House of Representatives, and the vacant constituencies she left happened to include Hyde Park where Michelle's husband ran for the House of Representatives.

After urgent consultations with the campaign team, Michelle and her husband decided to seize this rare opportunity, abandon the House of Representatives election, and run directly for the Illinois government senator.

Alice Palmer also recognized Michelle's husband. In order to gain mutual support, she publicly recommended Michelle's husband to voters in the original constituency, calling on everyone to transfer their support to him.

But the subsequent development of the matter was variable. Song Ya's witness, the leader of the black civil rights, and the political messenger Jesse Jackson suddenly pushed his son Jesse Jackson Jr. and also targeted the position of the federal representative left by Mel Reynolds.

Alice Palmer could not beat Jesse Jackson Jr. At the end of last year, she felt that the chance of victory was slim. In order to avoid losing both ends, she planned to break her promise and senator Illinois government turned around.

Now everyone is embarrassed because Michelle's husband can't go back either, and the constituents of the Hyde Park constituency also thrown out early to exchange interests.

"That's right? Even if Alice Palmer comes back to choose, our lineup can win, right?" Song Ya roughly understood the causes and consequences, and touched the enemy and said, "Does the Chicago political arena want to persuade you to obey the overall situation?"

“That’s not.”

Michelle said: "It's a moral dilemma. Alice Palmer gave up the constituency. Now she wants to come back. If we don't give in, we will be criticized by voters. And it's also inappropriate for her to support us first and then break her promise. No matter who wins this competition, both of us will be greatly reduced from the voters. This may be a discount to the third party within the donkey party, or the Elephant party's subsequent election rival."

That's right, it's just beginning in 1996, and the donkey party's primary election is still early.

"Then what are you going to do?" Song Ya asked.

It seems that it’s not enough to pay for this busy life. In the final analysis, the Michelle and his wife are a little greedy and are not sure about the sudden temptation. They temporarily changed their goals in the first election and jumped from the state House of Representatives to the senator level.

The constituencies are larger, the power is greater, the competition is naturally more intense, and the unexpected situations and the need for more campaign funds.

"Alice Palmer must quit, or it will hurt us all."

Before we knew it, Milton Davis, Mikwa, and Axelrod got closer. "We will definitely win if we choose, but it will be very unfavorable to Michelle's husband's subsequent political image."

Alice Palmer gave up the constituency and expressed support. He was good to you and I, everyone, but now you suddenly decided not to give in and continue to vote. What should I do if I get it together? If you tear it up, everyone will make sense. But Michelle's husband fell into a fight with black female politicians in the first election, which really hurts the political image. You must know that the black aunt is really good at fighting.

"Hello, aplus."

"Hello, hello." Song Ya shook hands with the three of them respectively. A US rich man ranked 300th, a top black banker, a former White House legal adviser, and a top Chicago campaign trader. This lineup and its associated political energy were launched. Even if they turned to compete with Jesse Jackson Jr. for the federal Congressman, Jesse Jackson would have to give in to three points.

"The key to this matter is not winning or losing, but we must protect Michelle's husband."

Milton Davis looked at the man in the distance with appreciation. He was communicating with the same team of voter representatives. Everyone could hold hands and chat for a few words, ensuring that the other party was happy. The crowd burst into laughter from time to time, and the host and the host were happy. "He has a promising future, which is like a natural talent aplus that others can't learn."

"yes."

Song Ya nodded. Michelle's husband's mother is Jewish. She could gather an elite Jewish campaign team around the first election. This is something she can't compare to. Others... Humph, am I not likable? Really.

"Alice Palmer must quit voluntarily, it is good for us all, and we will repay her in the future, but this year it won't work. We must choose Michelle's husband this year." Axelrod said: "I will send messages to her through private channels, so we need you, aplus, today stand with us and make public statements and create the greatest pressure on her. Is it OK?"

"Of course, of course, Michelle and I have known each other since 1990. At that time, I was a poor boy in second-hand clothes. Her husband was my recommended person to the University of Chicago."

No matter who Alice Palmer is, of course she is helping her own people. Michelle is also a witness of her will. She has used anti-discrimination many times to make people use her energy. Song Ya has nothing to consider.

"Very good, very good." Everyone was happy with his statement. Isn't it nice to support him?

"Thank you, aplus."

Michelle was also quite moved. After all, it was her husband's first election. Even if such a powerful behind-the-scenes lineup was convened, it would not be completely unhappy. Besides, this kind of bad thing happened again.

"Don't be polite Michelle, you helped me a lot, too."

Song Ya raised her wrist and looked at her watch, "But I'm going to shoot MV tomorrow, and No. 9 has to go to Washington to attend the hearing, so..."

"Okay, then let's take action now and take a photo first." Mikwa and Axelrod two Jews, one on the left and one on the right, hugging his shoulders to lead the way. "I heard you want to go to law school? I came to apply for my class at that time." Mikwa smiled.

Song Ya replied truthfully: "Yes, maybe next year, I will often miss classes in my undergraduate degree and I am so busy."

"It's understandable."

All the good players in the election are experts in socializing, and Mikwa and Axelrod soon became as intimate as brothers who had been separated for many years.

Song Ya knows that they are observing and spying themselves, and she is also spying on them at the same time. The group of campaign promoters is an indispensable arm for politicians. The positions of campaign managers, media consultants, legal counsel, etc. are almost all the real personal secrets that are closest to politicians. In the United States, this group is mixed with dragons and snakes. They are somewhat similar to nomads, of all kinds,

There are expert legal elites like Mikwa, as well as so-called policy consulting companies and public relations companies like Axelrod and Eli who run so-called policy consulting companies and public relations companies in the local political arena, and they are good at playing the role of campaign managers, businessmen and brokers.

For example, another rude man who is competing for the seat of the Federal Representative Russell who focuses on dealing with the union often means that there are gangster forces, and the guy who can roll in dirty water for many years will not be very clean.

Song Ya didn’t know how many nomads there were in the United States, and you can imagine that they were a very large crowd. For politicians, this is even a human resource market that can be selected, and frugality is the one that people can use.

When politicians choose them, they also choose politicians. Politicians such as strong fundraising ability, high status or recognized potential stars can convene a very large and professional team, such as the few people who are now around Michelle's husband.

Or senior politicians like Peter, who do not value the abilities of this group of people very much and prefer to use Eli's reassuring personalities.

Those unknown politicians may have only money to hire a bottom-level promoter who is carrying a travel bag and chasing water and grass working like migratory birds. You are good and I am good for the successful election. If the election failed, everyone is a pauper, so they have to pat their butts and split up, and go their separate ways to their future...

Their future and personal choices are also very different. Some are those like Mikwa and Eli who are willing to follow the "master" to become the White House legal counsel, the governor's office chief of staff for public meals, and some are companies like Axelrod, who have promoted one locally and then promoted another politician, expanding their "business" to all rice and even other English-speaking countries.

For example, the Five Eyes Alliance, which is basically consistent in language and culture, is used to illustrate the five-eye alliance, which is basically the same as the nonsense. Due to the transnational existence and threading of these nomads, the political allies of many politicians are actually transnational. Because of their close personal relationship with politicians, the decisions made by politicians may even deviate from national interests and help allies in the distance.
