Honestly I don't know if my definition of ''efficient campaign machinery'' fits into your description of ''Chicago democratic thugs''. But what I and the rest of the world ( i presume) do know very well is that, in that last presidential elections which brought Obama in power, those ''THUGS'' were well organized, disciplined and much more efficient & effective than their Republican counterparts.
Sometimes ''thuggery'' is the only way to succeed in life! Thus the saying, ''The end justifies the means''.
