The Media Market

Interesting story by Amy Sullivan about the "in-crowd" inside the Beltway. Consultants - can't live with them, can't live without them. The ground rule is - if they can't beat anybody, don't buy them. But since they all know eachother already they thrive on social (not professional) skills. Just because they can't manage to win an election for their Democrat customers doesn't necessarily mean that they get a pink slip.
