PURPOSE      

     When people first chose to let one of their number become a leader - or when the first person chose to force leadership on other people - it was a short step until others began to manage, or try to manage their leader.

     These managers  have enormous influence with winning candidates, and with that, comes some amount of power to select or recommend candidates for Executive Appointments..

Political Events

THE PROS - The continuing McCain Campaign staff shakeup starts the fallout of political pros as candidates weaken or fail.  This is important to people interested in Presidential appointments in 2008-2009 because they are insiders, and tend to migrate toward stronger candidates, taking their and contacts and suggestions for appointments with them.
