One could argue that the millions of people in rural America determine our future -- such as who our President is (because of the Electoral College) and federal legislation (because of the two senators per state thingy). Machine control of these voters, should it exist, is perhaps more important to the country as a whole than machine control of Cook County or DC city government.

I didnt' know him personally, but aside from what general media influenced observation, I used to socialise with one of his chief aides. d'Amato was corrupt and mob influenced. You like him why?

Oh, sure -- successful Italian American businessman/politician equals "Mafia" to you?
Kidding aside, I point him and Nassau County out to show that machine politics is nonpartisan.
